Low Flying Zone mach loop

[leannewags]

Cool clip even cooler music, gotta love Muse :))

[whitewingsrich]

I've never been to this place but just have to go!! Do these low flying exercises take place daily or do you have to know when they are scheduled to be taking place to get the photos & videos. Will a same jet make numerous passes in a day or does it just fly by onto the valleys farther away or will they keep coming back to this valley in particular again & again???

[luckyseven76]

who is the owner of the black alphajet in the beginning?

[MajedxXx15]

This saudi F15 not USA

This Maneuvers between

Saudi Arabia and Britain.

[zzyzx85]

F-15C are upgraded single seaters. F-15E are the Strike Eagles.

[ahahorsley]

[QuincyGD4456]

Are those F-15C's or E's going in there?

[MegaLibra1979]

@QuincyGD4456 the first one was a C looked to be a strike eagle you can tell by the pilons from the air intake to the rear much wider the your stanard f15 and the 2nd was a C varient aswell as far as i can tell

[MegaLibra1979]

@QuincyGD4456 the last was a C strike eagle

[R6Chris]

Oh how I would love to see a close formation of spitfires going through.

[all4golf]

If I were to fly there from the U.S. what is the closest airport with international flights? What's the best/closest town to stay in?

[jimbo99ful]

@all4golf Probably Birmingham Airport then drive through Wales to Machynlleth but thats just off the top of my head and others may know more.

[welshlad1982]

@all4golf Hey, the nearest airport that has U.S. arrivals is Manchester. The route would then be around 105 miles to machynlleth.

Hope this helps?? :)

[all4golf]

@welshlad1982 - I did some research and Birmingham also has one airline that flies back and forth, looks about the same distance to the loop.

[esveetje]

is a great place for spotters

[hellcatjoe]

well the first jet through is an alpha jet

[barmybrummy1988]

wow plenty of false info going around....ok....1. closest town: Machynlleth

2. both american and brits fly all the planes.....all apart of there training 3. no planes dares to do anything except for what they are told there flight path is, and at what altitude to be at. they fly usualy 4-5 times a week, wednesdays tend to be the 'lets all go out flying day'

I live in corris so i see them approx 1-2 minutes after the location in the vid.....

[tomcat4111]

Hi ! That's great movie!

What's the nearest town from that place and what's the number of the road near it?How often does RAf's and USAF's?

[DramaticPrairieDog]

i think llanbedr is the closest town, and the loop is about 15 minutes away. RAF will probably go through more than the USA, because the nearest AB is RAF Valley, which a lot of Hawks are based at. if you look up Llanbedr on google maps it will tell you the roads.

[tomcat4111]

Thanks for Your answer!

Maybe I'll be there in August.

[kesselaar]

Offcousre.. always a 'leaving to go home moment', always, I hate it... ;)

[nxge]

the americans wouldnt dare go lower

[NFLineast]

BS. I've seen F15E's plenty low. Not Harrier/GR4/Hawk-low but plenty low.

[FLINTY876]

2 things is it always like this!!! and how do i get there!!!

[KrisRamJ]

Team USA are awesome IMO. The Lakenheath birds I saw at the Bwlch on 16th September were going lower and faster than most of the RAF jets. It takes time to learn the routes to fly through these narrow valleys - most of the RAF boys have been flying the loop since their Valley days.

[f22iscrap]

TEAM USA ARE SHIT!!!!

[PrivateCustard]

Team USA are very very loud!

They're not shit though, they just tend to stay higher for the most part, probably subject to tighter height restrictions.

I was chatting to a local on Thursday, and he was once on the spur of the hillside just after the left turn out of the Bwlch Pass with his son and nearly had is head taken off by an F-15!

Out of four passes on Thursday, one of them was level with me, but he soon climbed for the left turn towards Cad and Corris.

[Firespectrum122]

lol, got an american lover here XD

[NFLineast]

Drivel. Pyscho bable. I was at Cad West a couple of weeks ago. The weather was pants. An F15 came through semi-high. The pilot looked down on the mountain and when he saw that two photographers had braved the weather he pulled around Corris and came back - lower, louder, and faster than I have ever seen. Team USA kick ass!!

[XcFxjack0206]

just comne back from there

absolutley fantastic

[S00000by]

Were the ones under the colourful brolly on Cad West!!, Great Vid by the way :)

[aviationreporting]

Great Video! Indeed a very good choice to stop the music and let the aircraft do the talking. Very well done! When looking at the video it realy feels like going back asap.

[Coreytherocker]
