It's all absolutely off the charts, but that shot of the camouflage F-15 passing over its own shadow (1:06) is mind-blowing...Shows just how close to the ground it is!
That F-16 Falcon firing the after burner @2:36 is awesome! When I was a kid my dream was to be a F-16 pilot. I've always favored it more than the other fighter jets.
Eagles and Raptors and Falcons Oh my! Hornets and Harriers hell yeah! Lightings,Typhoons and Thunderbolts II! Phantoms and Tigers who could ask for more? Thanks for the great view!
I could listen to those engines fly by all day :) I saw a F-4 run through there they need to get a Tomcat serviced, ready to fly, and send her through on a few runs....that would be epic.
They were all destroyed in an industrial shredder after retirement so no spare parts could find their way to Iran. It's a nice dream, but it ain't gonna happen.
Definitely don't stop doing these incredible videos set to this music. Your cinematography tracks the planes so perfectly. Great job! This is real art. Thank you.
The Hans Zimmer is great and all... Yet, the audio leaning moreso towards stereoscopic positioning of the of the jet fly-bys against the landscape are full of sensory delight for myself. This montage has great and varied craft in HQ video!
You have a talent. Usually music kills an aviation video, but this edit is hair raising. Bravo. This is by far the best Star Wars Canyon video I have ever seen.
Ok, your video is really being there without being there. Great mix of aircraft, even some aggressor squadron paint in there. The image quality is insane. Another user commented about your use of the music. He’s correct and I only wish to add that you have the music adding significantly to the experience but it doesn’t overwhelm the sound of the aircraft. To me, that’s an incredible balance to achieve. I don’t know if this is a hobby for you or what, but something with this level of passion and dedication should damn sure make you a buck if it isn’t.
Best fighter jet video ive seen of all time.ive watch a lifetime of videos old and new.this hands down i a perfect variety and awsome video and audio.bad ass shit .thanks for uploading.seen one u seen em all....nope you havent seen shit until you watch this video.this does piolots and jets and camera man justice.
memonk11 they had flown from Pt Mugu on their way to Hill AFB but their home base is Holloman. They flew thru just 2 months before the QF-4’s were all retired.
One of the best videos I've seen yet of Jedi transition, pretty awesome thanks! Think it would be cooler without the music, just so you can get the full affect of the aircraft.
All Tomcats were destroyed. We gave a ton to Iran when they were friends with us, but because of the Iranian Revolution we destroyed them all to prevent any spare parts from being able to get to them.
Awesome! You know what's mssing htough? Some F-14s. Not your fault though. I really love how the F-35 looks too. I don't trust it...yet - but that could change!
The F-14's were the "Best kept Secret" in my opinion. The pentagon makes a whole lot of stupid and wrong decisions all in the name of money but in the long run end up spending more. The F14 Tomcat was the fastest and most maneuverable fighter bomber and highest altitude bomber we ever had, it still can carry the heaviest payload of any other to this very date. They wanted to replace it with the F-18 but the F-18 still can't come close to the f-14's payload and not as fast either when maxed out with bombs. The Navy wants them back or at least upgrade their systems to bring it up to current tech.
There aren't any F20s, they were never built. The prototype crashed during an airshow. The T-38 in this video is civilian owned. The F-4 has the markings of an Air Force Reserve Squadron but is likely either civilian owned or a plane being prepared as a target plane.
@@timlampreht4856 - Err, the F-14 splashed many an enemy in its day, but it was underpowered and never the most maneuverable plane. What it *did* have was a purpose-built BVR missile that was second to none for its time. It only became repurposed as a bomb truck in its old age when there wasn't much else they could do with them. In terms of fleet defense and air superiority, the F-14 would not be keeping up with the Su-33, MiG-29K or Rafale-M. Frankly, the F/A-18 doesn't either. That is why the Navy is planning to field a new air superiority fighter under the F/A-XX program. That way the Super Hornets and F-35s won't be forced into an air superiority role.
WHAT AN AWSOME VIDEO! I love how you used music from Man Of Steel, in this video! It fits, with all of the fast jets screaming through this canyon. Also, what's with the Mudhen sporting panels of International Orange? Is it a test bird from Edwards? Can anyone tell me? Thank you.
John Osbourn first off, thanks for the nice comment about the music! One of the songs in it is “Terraforming” which seems perfect for the canyon. Also that Mudhen is the #1 F-15SA being test flown from Palmdale/Plant 42 by Boeing and is the latest and greatest version of the F-15 adding extra wing stations, glass cockpit, fly-by-wire...etc. for Saudi Arabia.
Very inspiring video! I understand that weekdays are when most flights occur.. are there any flights on Sundays? I ask because you’ve been many times and are an expert!
I live only 160 miles away, would love to visit this amazing place, if anyone can offer any insight as the best times, and access it would be greatly appreciated.. Thnx much..

@@Mr.XJ.96 Yes you can, it's called Rainbow Canyon in Death Valley National Park but mostly referred to as Star Wars Canyon with this part being the Jedi Transition. It's along highway 190 in California and there is parking right where the jet traffic is so pick a spot and set up for a show.
@@oldfrend as far as I know, like someone else mentioned, during the week is best. Multiple bases fly there so you're bound to see some form of activity besides it's the military so they always have to practice. I know they run year round but whether there is a better time of year to see a ton of activity in one day I don't know. I'm sure if it's nice out like spring would be better, like most things if there is a more comfortable time to do something, more of it will get done.
Okay now the mystery. Where is Star Wars Canyon. California or Nevada. Is it in the China Lake area around Ridgecrest or are we talking more toward Reno north of Walker Lake?
Miatacrosser the simple answer is that it’s in California on the western edge of Death Valley NP situated along hwy 190 at Father Crowley’s vista point.
If you want see them at eye level, hang out on Panamint Dunes. It is about a two hour hike in frpm the undeveloped trailhead. There is an electronic target on the one rocky projection, I forget its name. The planes dip and swerve at the before blasting out into the Panamint Valley. No water, services etc. Death Valley NP.
Is there any indication of how long the min altitude restriction will remain in place? I assume that they need to practice low altitude canyon flying somewhere. I’ve been to the Canyon several times over the past few years and like many others enjoy it tremendously as do the international tourists that stop by.
Well for one thing it’s not just the altitude restriction that’s killed it but the Jedi Transition has basically been re-routed as they added C1 which is further north of the canyon. Because of the fact that Rainbow Canyon is now within the bounds of DVNP (since around 1994) and tourists were injured…..I hate to use the word ‘never’ but…..you’ll not see anything like that thru there again.
Why is a Phantom in the sky? F-14D’s with Phoenix Missiles aboard every CVN we got! I felt so protected while Tomcats carrying Phoenix Missiles flew CAP stations protecting USS RANGER CV-61 USN 89-95 Any time baby!
@@Habujet do you live near deathvalley?sac airshow got cancelled this year super bummed considering roadtrippin to rainbow canyon.had good footage of f35 demo at sac airshow 2 years ago.lost all footage on a phone that was destroyed.f35 was to perform this year and it got canceled.anyhow this vids vantage points are just really good spots!
@@matthewmcgreevy7270 Not close. About 200 miles away. The Jedi Transition currently has a 1500' AGL limitation for anyone flying it and that means no flying in the canyon. Sorry, this all happened since the unfortunate crash of an F-18 back in July 2019.
I still watch this and cry. It is a masterpiece, and now a memorial to our canyon. 😔 Best jet video ever.
Thanks Nathan! I always tinkered with this video and now I’ll not have a chance to add any new clips…..sad.
the BEST Star War Canyon footage ever. Wow I have never seen right to left only left to right and the photography was top notch. liked
That shot of the f-16 at 2:39 is amazing‼️‼️
It's all absolutely off the charts, but that shot of the camouflage F-15 passing over its own shadow (1:06) is

Thanks for pointing that out it is truly an incredible video shot.

Eagles and Raptors and Falcons Oh my!
Hornets and Harriers hell yeah!
Lightings,Typhoons and Thunderbolts II!
Phantoms and Tigers who could ask for more?
Thanks for the great view!
Left out the Tornado!
Right at the opening. The Phantom Menace! 💜💙💛
God I love the Phantom!!! She is still a rugged truck of a fighter!!!
I could listen to those engines fly by all day :) I saw a F-4 run through there they need to get a Tomcat serviced, ready to fly, and send her through on a few runs....that would be epic.
They were all destroyed in an industrial shredder after retirement so no spare parts could find their way to Iran. It's a nice dream, but it ain't gonna happen.
Well in that case, an F-111 would do
How amazing would it be to have been to be able to see F-14's flying through the Jedi!
Wish they never would have retired the TomCat.....
Iran still has them@@Mr.XJ.96
Thought the same thing. Sucks...
@@User-nu6km Iran has old Tomcats that cant fly and they have no way of getting replacement parts. Useless for them.
Bret Remington They’ve reverse engineered some of the parts with limited success.
Fantastic video. Seeing that old Phantom gave me the chills. What a spectrum of technology you covered in these images.
F4 Phantom!!
The flying ghost !!! lol.
Yeah, blew me away too..!
The most beautiful fighter jet ever created
I saw that F4 and thought, for real, this thing still flying. YES!!!
An F-4! Wow, was not expecting that.
The “ howl” of the F15’s gets me every time! Love it and the videos are great!
How anyone, man, woman, boy or girl not like these videos is beyond me!! Love em love em!! F-15’s are still my favorite!
Excellent video...the shot where the hornet disappears thru the clouds to close was genius
Definitely don't stop doing these incredible videos set to this music. Your cinematography tracks the planes so perfectly. Great job! This is real art. Thank you.
Great video, I would only say lose the music
Give vector thrust to the oldie but goodies and watch our enemies jaw's drop.
IKR ?! Then they would do the numbers then crap their drawers.
The Hans Zimmer is great and all... Yet, the audio leaning moreso towards stereoscopic positioning of the of the jet fly-bys against the landscape are full of sensory delight for myself. This montage has great and varied craft in HQ video!
F-15 sounds so amazing.
BADDEST JEDI TRANSITION VID ON RUclips!! MAN OF STEEL SOUNDTRACK WAS PERFECT!!
Thank you Habujet for this! That F16 @ 2:36, the F35 @ 4:00 and the F18 @ 5:50! Awesome after burners!
While watching this I was Grunting like Tim Allen the whole time!
You have a talent. Usually music kills an aviation video, but this edit is hair raising. Bravo. This is by far the best Star Wars Canyon video I have ever seen.
ok...the 4 F-22s at the end gave me goosebumps....wicked cool. Nice job
Digging that Man of Steel score in the background, great video.
Fantastic video! Some of those aircraft look like you could reach out and touch them as they went by! Great mixture too!
The word for today boys and girls... Is... "G FORCE".... incredible footage.. Thanks for sharing👍👍👌👌👌🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great video shooting, thanks
Sky full of American FREEDOM
OH YEA!
im craving a b1 through jedi or mach loop, so i check all these. sick vid man
Eurofighter Typhoon and GR4 Tornado....was not expecting to see those here.
Damn!! Checkout those Full Afterburner rings @ 2:37 and @ 5:50
shock rings/diamonds. supersonic exhaust gasses.

Disagree. I like the video footage but ANY music takes away from the experience.
You are exactly right this is like being there
Spectacular footage from Star Wars Canyon...thanks so much for creating an awesome video...
How can anyone not like this video. That F-15 howl at the 3 minute mark is AWESOME!!
Came to this video a little late, but it's amazing! Many of the shots look like they're lifted right off a movie screen, great camerawork!
F-4 and F-5 Vietnam era jets.They still look amazing flying over and trough the canyons👍
F-4 in Turkey and South Korea are ative frontline.
@@olafweinzer5746 Actually,North Korea has the early migs. The F-4 was called “ the mig killer”. Haven’t checked out Turkey yet.
Bad ass mix of war birds
I dont care what anybody says that f35 is a good looking plane

Magnificent and love all the fighter jets especially the F-22A in 4 ship formation 😎🤩
Just outstanding stuff. Great planes and great video! Going to watch again and again.
The RAPTORS have so much attitude. They don’t even try to hide in the canyons!
Yes. I don't want to encourage Bold flying but inverted.
God damn. It must be glorious to fly any of those machines. AND extra kudos for the phantom! Where did that come from?

Habujet please make more videos with music like these. I really enjoyed it
Best Star Wars Canyon video….period. Well done!
Love this video!
The Man of Steel score over this video is perfect.
Great mix of fighters. Would be nice to see a Tomcat in the mix
Tomcats are retired. Navy is using Hornets and Super Hornets now.
Sadly that will never happen again unless you go to Iran and watch their's fly.
I hear rumors are that the navy wants them back.
All Tomcats were destroyed. We gave a ton to Iran when they were friends with us, but because of the Iranian Revolution we destroyed them all to prevent any spare parts from being able to get to them.
VF-111.VF-124 CVW-15 USS CARL VINSON. Tomcats Forever !!!
I wish this was my backyard...
Thank you uploader!
just love that wine of those F-15's
Inverted in to the canyon?! DAMN!
I recall Commander Frank Camparelli's reaction when Colt devil 505 came sweeping in , "YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
I have anew item on my bucket list, fly a Tomcat though the canyon.
Great panning there. I've only been out there twice and really want to go again.
Awesome! You know what's mssing htough? Some F-14s. Not your fault though. I really love how the F-35 looks too. I don't trust it...yet - but that could change!
Very nice footage, great video.
Awesome!
Wow f4s
Music is perfect for this. Amazing
The f 22 and 35 are so quiet compared to the older jets
F15's baby..Love em
I love em too, but im honestly more of am F16 kinda guy.
My absolute favorite
What type of camera and lens setup? You're super close. Panning skills on point too
An old Sony SR-11.....thanks!
That looked like a Harrier before the 1st Aggressor Eagle.
I've never seen footage of F-14's hitting the transition. Were people not filming this canyon back then?
Like the orange paint scheme on the f15
Brrrrrrrrt! My favorite! Great fucking vid!✌
F 4 Phantom
Whaaaaaaat?
thought they were done with?
Jay Smith the F-4 passes were from Oct 2016 and the Phantom era in the U.S. ended 2 months later. We were very lucky to have them come thru.
@@Habujet they had what appeared to be drone markings.
Frederick Schaffer correct, QF-4’s from Holloman AFB.....real men flying them!
I wonder why they can keep f4's and f20's flying but no f14's?
