Gorgeous sound!

[AvengeOrVengeance]

I see a lot of videos of military aircraft flying in this 'Mach Loop', What's the Mach loop actually? I would love some info of it. Looks really fascinating!

[USAF2409]

I was thinking Fat Albert as in the Blue Angels C-130!

[SolihullSteve]

@USAF2409 Agreed ..

[idontcare80]

These have flown by my house very often for my entire life and I've never seen one fly like that! Great video, beautiful place.

[Wonkabar007]

@idontcare80 Its great to see such a big aircraft flying so low in the mountains, they do it at night sometimes.

[reptarrawks1]

@Wonkabar007 great quality and way to keep the camera steady nice job

[HeresDean]

why do they always turn on their sides going through?? is it a saluting thing of some kind i wouldnt know much about it

[aussiepride2005]

@HeresDean it's called a loop for a reason. it's hard to notice but the mountains do wind around, hence the reason for the right hand turn.

[invisiblebarriers]

@HeresDean if you watch some vids from different spots you can tell planes are doing quite sharp turns... looks like its going stright from the angle.

Everybody wants their turn through the Mach Loop! My Dad flew through there when F-100's were around back in the 60's.

[jackdavidharris]

Not all of the C-130's are being replaced. Assuming we're talking about the RAF, the older variants, like the C-130K, are retiring but the C-130J are staying to fly with the A400M as they are quite new.

[Sarge084]

@jackdavidharris C-130K is the tanker, the older Herc's are the H variant, some of them are over 35 years old, I was wearing blue when they had the 25th anniversary flypast at RIAT.

[rm2808]

wonkabar i wouldnt worry about them being withdrawn just yet, end ex for the J is 2022 so another 10 years or so, luckily for the environment tho the smoke factory K only has 18 months left!

[Wonkabar007]

@rm2808 Thanks for the info, good to know some will still be flying.
