I'm an American, but I lived in Deganwy North Wales for many years. One day I was coming back from an errand in Aberystwyth driving along the A487 east of Barmouth. At one point, the road is halfway up the cutting through the valleys. Coming towards me, below my level flying in the valley towards me, is a C130. For some crazy reason, I flashed my headlights at him. Unbelievably, he flashed back with his landing lights.
This is the aviation equivalent of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Great subject matter, great location, and a great photograpic eye. And no airbrushing!
My brother flys the f-35 so darn proud of him and amazed every time he talks to me about it Like its no big deal. To be one of the most elite pilots in the world. Amazing and inspiring to say the least.
I have really grown to love the F-35 (LOL, a lot of that has to do with your absolutely stunning videos and photos) but how is it that a 50 year old fighter jet (F-15) NEVER seems to get old?
Awesome career choice!!! He'll be a Veteran for the rest of his life and get a damn good job right out of the service!! My Son is a US MArine and Companies are going after him for his skills!!! Very Proud as well!!
@@wcreview8227 that's what I hear and that's what I'm hoping. He asks lutely loves the job and loves the life. He is an exemplary young man. I'm sure yours is as well.
@@loetzcollector466 Absolutely.. The Military Helped teach him how to be a self sustaining MAN.. i Taught him the basics and they halped put it all into action.. youll see he is going to have a great life!!
@@wcreview8227 Yeah encourage people to give their lives and fight battles with their own blood under the guise of hypothetical virtue or 'honour' in the pursuit of alleged 'freedom' for faceless diplomats sat behind desks in ivory towers. After which when they do inevitably come back psychologically if not physically scarred they'll find they're in fact completely forgotten about and abandoned by the country they thought they were fighting for. That's great.
That stereo sound positioning is so nice! That roar is intense. I love it. Oh, and who can deny those visuals? Even the heavy boys sliding deep into the valley are getting solid action. That was fun to watch!
Your stunning photos and videos allow us all to appreciate the beauty in these machines of death. Just fantastic photos and video. I could watch them all day.
These vids NEVER FAIL to make the excitement flow through my views! Just awesome raw power od our American Air Force and RAF Allies! Thanks again for putting a huge smile on my face and feel so prideful of our hardworking armed forces personnel who keep us safe day in and day out!!! Thank you!
I never get tired of watching these amazing shots , the guys and gals shooting the photos are great at their jobs. Thanks to all the service men and women for what they do !
thank you for sharing these videos and photos, that very last clip is beautiful, they're all beautiful! when i was little we had DHC-4 Caribous fly over our house quite often. one day we had one fly really low so we stuck our arms out like wings and tilted them left to right, the pilot saw us and did the same in reply. i don't think i'll ever forget that
Those are some absolutely beautiful closeup photos. Those cameras look like they would take a second mortgage to pay for. And those close in shots count the freckles as they go by
They have such a unique sound. You'd think something that creates such a noisy fireball would sound like just noise, but the F-35 definitely has a unique sound
It certainly has a unique sound. I consider the work I did on that project some of the best of my career, I hope that sound of freedom roars for a long long time over not only my own nation but over our esteemed allies nations too.
@@phillipbanes5484 Denser air, I imagine. I've seen the F-16s with the Thunderbirds. Great planes. But the best that I've seen was the Habu (SR-71). That thing was an earthquake taking off.
@@phillipbanes5484 I also used to watch pairs of F-4s taking off under afterburners. They put out a lot of higher pitched noise. They certainly didn't point their nose in the sky, though, especially with a combat load.
Just spectacular photography. Imagine being the pilot of one of those fighters, throwing it around the sky like that. Also, I loved the photo of the passenger with the "Hi Mom" message. Genius!
Top photography! I paused trough the stills at the end and the quality of these is just stunning. Btw these pictures are very valuable to the modellers out there, just check those weathering patterns. The pilot/navigator holding up the 'Hello Mom' stencil was a funny touch, they know they being photographed.
The F-15 was introduced in 1976, almost fifty years ago, and it's still one of the most badass fighters in the sky. Great still photo of it here. I was at the Reno NV air races a few years ago talking to an F-22 Raptor pilot. There was an F-15 parked nearby and I asked him which plane would win in a straight up dogfight. He said with no technology involved, just plane vs plane and pilot vs pilot he would not put his F-22 up against an F-15 unless he had no choice.
Yeah, I screen-capped that photo. It's just a bad-assed plane that's lost none of its ferocity over the decades. I made this comment on another thread, but thought I'd share it here, too: I saw the new F-15 when it went on a world tour in '76 sporting its Bicentennial livery. I was in awe. It almost outshown the Habu. I can't decide which is my favorite: they're perfect for their roles. Sliderules rock!
These videos are amazing - the time and effort and energy put into getting these incredible photos is breathtaking. I need to get up there with my own camera and bazooka lens!
Right, we expect small planes to be able to do all kinds of cool stuff, but the big ones need to be able to go places and do things too. Remember what General Borgnine said to Major Marvin, we are not running this war for your personal convenience - the cargo plane needs to deliver the goods where the war is, not where it would be convenient to fly. :-)
My wife and I were one valley over in Tal-Y-Lyn and saw these on the day. We also had the pleasure of watching the Fat Albert fly up the valley too. Thanks for great video.
Crazy!! Sitting in one of those fighters. Flying low through a valley. It is all I ever wanted to do. Never will. But, because of this video, for a second or two, I am there in the cockpit, then I flip back to reality, but thank you.
I mean the planes were awesome. But the landscape in your part on the world in truly amazing. Greetings from Halifax Nova Scotia Canada. Thanks for sharing
Been watching for a few years now. How is it that your geting better and better??? I didnt think it was possible. The sound is awesome and shakes my theatre room. Love it!!!!
I saw the new F-15 when it went on a world tour in '76 sporting its Bicentennial livery. I was in awe. It almost outshown the Habu. I can't decide which is my favorite: they're perfect for their roles. Sliderules rock!
WOW what an awesome video! Also love it you inserted some of the photo's made. The rattling sound of the camera's is actually more terrifying then the low passes :D The F15's are one of the best looking fighters ever. Also incredible to see the big cargo planes do the same passes low in the valley.
Love the Raptor! One day I’ll be stood there, I may try and take pictures or I may just chat with the proper photographers and just watch when the planes fly past! Awesome experience and I bet the pilots love it too.
Makes me proud!!! My late father-in-law, David Martin, worked at Lockheed many years as a structural engineer. He worked predominately on wing boxes and it makes me smile to see those F-35, F-22, & C-130s wings stay attached during those crazy loads. Fly high David and all those who work to protect our lives and freedom.
Dafydd, incredible as always-Videography and the still shots! Beautiful backdrop to catch all this action. As so many others have commented, love some F-15 action😎. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing videos 👍
A few years ago i was doing the same trip heading down from Machynlleth to Aberystwyth and a plane flew up the valley towards us, the noise was frightening, but the best was, the plane was lower in the valley, than the road we were driving on. Amazing flying and pilot skill
Amazing photography, thanks. Some awesome footage there, it`s sad to think that the C130`s are being retired, they have given so much Stirling service, they will be sadly missed 👍👍
Thank you for posting another great video! The Classics(+50 years old)(C-130, F-15) are still great designs! The F-35 seems a little bit more impressive every time you guys post these videos!
Back in 2002, I worked as a fire watcher in a tower, on a clifftop, on Mt Pickapene in NE NSW Australia. I used to love watching the F111's and Caribou as they did their loops around the mountains. I could look down into the cockpit on the F111's and wave to the airmen. The Caribou's would do touch and go practice from a strip that was behind a low ridge and would appear to suddenly pop up from the grass on the ridge. 😁
Absolutely amazing! To top it all off, your videos have convinced me to visit this spectacular location within the next 6-8 months (visiting from Canada).
Welcome to Wales. Even British people don't realise that even London is further North than most cities in Canada. North Wales is level with the Hudson bay at 53N! Hence why in summer here it stays light until 10 or 11pm. And in Winter it gets dark at 4pm! Hope you have a lovely trip!
There's a nice little bed and breakfast in the valley in front of a lake, I was there in 2021.....unfortunately there wasn't much activity when I was there, we could hear them dog fighting in the distance, beautiful place well worth a visit....I'm planning on going back soon....best wishes from West Yorkshire..
Everytime my grandma would hear these guys fly over her house she would say " GO GET EM BOYS!". She worked at Brookley field in Mobile Alabama. She told me a story one time of how the jack wouldn't work as they were putting an engine in one of the aircraft,don't remember what kind,but she had them put it on her back and she lifted it into place. I MISS HER😢 That's just pure BADASS right there!!
This is deadly serious flying. This is not a stunt for the cameras. This is terrain following at low altitude to avoid radar and ground sam missile attack. By the time, they fly past a battery, they have hopefully already gotten out of range of the missiles. Bravo to the camerawork. I love the video shots and that thumbnail picture is completely insane. Completely insane. Looks like you could reach out and clean the bottom of that jet flying by at 500 mph.
I always like these videos, very rare I comment on videos but this was beautiful, just like the other ones as well. I just hope one day I am able to be there to take photos and to just witness this in person. beautiful scenery and the power, the sound of freedom!
The F-35 is the loudest thing I have ever heard. I’m in Tasmania, and we had one do two passes over our town. First was 400knots at 500ft, the second, he went vertical straight over my house. I’ve no idea how the windows survived, haha. It was magnificent. Btw, I love the C-130. Such a big beautiful work horse.
To see the Lakenheath (LN) aircraft taking off on Friday and then seeing them the following day on RUclips is amazing. It is rare to see them flying like this near me!
That amazing photo at 4:55 was right up there with that great shot of the F35 taken by Elwyn R last year. The quality of the natural light makes all the difference. Brilliant stuff, thanks ! 👍
Seeing the transport planes going through after the fighters is comparable to watching footage of the Nurburgring seeing a supercar or bike going through the Twisties followed by a coach backing it in, then drifting it on the way out. Quality footage once again.
I remember standing on one of the Welsh mountains in Snowdonia back in the 1980s - think it might have been Cader - and saw a fast jet fly below me like this. I could see the pilot clear as day. Crazy thing to see in real life.
I'm an American, but I lived in Deganwy North Wales for many years. One day I was coming back from an errand in Aberystwyth driving along the A487 east of Barmouth. At one point, the road is halfway up the cutting through the valleys. Coming towards me, below my level flying in the valley towards me, is a C130.

Very cool!

Love that 👌
This is the aviation equivalent of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. Great subject matter, great location, and a great photograpic eye.
And no airbrushing!
Thanks Rick. 👍
So the Herc was the fold out? 😂
The F-35 is the fat chick in the "woke" edition.

@@y_ffordd yeah he did recently Its called weapons school for air force but same thing as top gun
One of the best sounds after thunderstorm. What an adrenaline rush flying about in one of these. Awesome 👍😎😊
Watching this on my 65" TV and home cinema at full volume. Glorious!
Thanks for watching, volume up!!! ✈️✈️👍
Before my 4k projector died [rip] I used to watch these on a 110" screen
and also w/ surround sound cranked. Talk about an immersive experience. =D
Omgosh. Can I come over and watch too ?
I have really grown to love the F-35 (LOL, a lot of that has to do with your absolutely stunning videos and photos) but how is it that a 50 year old fighter jet (F-15) NEVER seems to get old?
They have made an Upgraded version of it that has hella Missile hard points on it.
The F-15 has to be an all-time fav of any Aerosexual......!🤣
Same here. it's gonna be a monster weapons platform. Better situational awareness than an AWACS
And the F-15 is still undefeated in air to air combat. Amazing.
Imagine the reception if an F-14 popped in!!! Sadly that won't happen.
My nephew joined the Airforce a year-and-a-half ago, now he's doing maintenance on these birds. I'm quite proud of him
I’d be very proud of him. 👌

Thanks Dafydd. Consistently the best in flight stills and video. Always enjoy seeing the "studio" with everyone working to get their shots.
Increadible photography. Thx so much. The stills are epic. And the sound on top of everything gives me chills.
Thanks Nate, happy you enjoyed it 👍
I love that noise so much. My first few years of life were spent on a naval base so this is soothing to me
Thanks Tiffany, must of been a great place ✈️✈️😍👍
Not so sure the sheep enjoy it as much. But they must be used to it by now.
My favourite aviation photography channel.
Muchas Gracias 👍
That shot at 4:57 is beautiful. The canopy really looks amazing.
Thank you. 👍
I was up in Marysville, CA fishing with the kids when 4 F-35’s buzzed us. Could see the pilot. Was awesome.

Just spectacular photography. Imagine being the pilot of one of those fighters, throwing it around the sky like that. Also, I loved the photo of the passenger with the "Hi Mom" message. Genius!
Thank you.
Reflecting on totality of the engineering, physics, manufacturing, maintenance 😮 ❤ what humanity can do if we work together
Loved the "Hi Mom" at 6:21, but glad it's the navigator and not the pilot holding the sign.
Top photography! I paused trough the stills at the end and the quality of these is just stunning. Btw these pictures are very valuable to the modellers out there, just check those weathering patterns.
The pilot/navigator holding up the 'Hello Mom' stencil was a funny touch, they know they being photographed.
Thanks Tom, occasionally a modeller will ask for high res shots to get some of the minor details needed.
The F-15 was introduced in 1976, almost fifty years ago, and it's still one of the most badass fighters in the sky. Great still photo of it here.

The fast movers are always great, but for me, the most impressive will always be seeing a cargo plane thread the needle.
Absolutely the bus drivers are having a blast.

Remember what General Borgnine said to Major Marvin, we are not running this war for your personal convenience - the cargo plane needs to deliver the goods where the war is, not where it would be convenient to fly. :-)
Absolutely, it's the heavies that win the war, the little guys just make sure they can get there lol
My wife and I were one valley over in Tal-Y-Lyn and saw these on the day. We also had the pleasure of watching the Fat Albert fly up the valley too. Thanks for great video.
Thanks for watching and hope you enjoyed the scenery around tal y llyn. 🏴👍
Awesome catches!
I like that everyone comes at a certain altitude and the A400 comes lower than them.
Crazy!! Sitting in one of those fighters. Flying low through a valley. It is all I ever wanted to do. Never will.
But, because of this video, for a second or two, I am there in the cockpit, then I flip back to reality, but thank you.

The Hi Mom sign at 621! Great stuff all round.
My parents live in scotland and when i went to visit them a few years back i saw a jet flying past... I absolutely loved it...
I went cycling in the scottish mountains back in the 70's, absolutely *loved* seeing the Canberras and Phantoms swooping down the valleys
Nothing like mach terrain following. Awesome video and photos.

Thank you so much for sharing these amazing videos 👍
Thank as always for being here Tim 👍
A few years ago i was doing the same trip heading down from Machynlleth to Aberystwyth and a plane flew up the valley towards us, the noise was frightening, but the best was, the plane was lower in the valley, than the road we were driving on.
Amazing flying and pilot skill
Can’t beat getting buzzed in the car ✈️👌
Amazing photography, thanks. Some awesome footage there, it`s sad to think that the C130`s are being retired, they have given so much Stirling service, they will be sadly missed 👍👍
Thanks Stephen, will certainly miss them when they go
A few of these frames broke my uncanny valley. Absolutely extraordinary aircraft.
F-35 is an amazing plane. So gratifying to see it excel now. Glad we decided to buy them here in Canada
Thank you for posting another great video!

The "HI MOM!" sign was awesome.
Back in 2002, I worked as a fire watcher in a tower, on a clifftop, on Mt Pickapene in NE NSW Australia. I used to love watching the F111's and Caribou as they did their loops around the mountains. I could look down into the cockpit on the F111's and wave to the airmen.

Appreciated.
I always like these videos, very rare I comment on videos but this was beautiful, just like the other ones as well. I just hope one day I am able to be there to take photos and to just witness this in person. beautiful scenery and the power, the sound of freedom!
Appreciate you watching,
Many thanks
Never gets old, does it?
The F-35 is the loudest thing I have ever heard. I’m in Tasmania, and we had one do two passes over our town. First was 400knots at 500ft, the second, he went vertical straight over my house. I’ve no idea how the windows survived, haha. It was magnificent.
Btw, I love the C-130. Such a big beautiful work horse.
Sounded like fun Scott ✈️✈️✈️😍🤠👍
To see the Lakenheath (LN) aircraft taking off on Friday and then seeing them the following day on RUclips is amazing.
It is rare to see them flying like this near me!
Incredible footage and photos! Thank you 🙏
Thank you.
That amazing photo at 4:55 was right up there with that great shot of the F35 taken by Elwyn R last year. The quality of the natural light makes all the difference. Brilliant stuff, thanks ! 👍
Seeing the transport planes going through after the fighters is comparable to watching footage of the Nurburgring seeing a supercar or bike going through the Twisties followed by a coach backing it in, then drifting it on the way out.
Quality footage once again.
I think you have outdone your normal awesome videos Dafydd! I can’t wait to get home to watch this on the big screen TV 😊
Thank Todd, Appreciated.
Saw an F-35 last week at the Belgian Air Force days. Amazing jet to see!
Nice capture of Airbus A400M pass 🙂👍! RAF is retiring its C130's ?

WoW it was like been at an airshow, maybe the best video I've certainly seen from the loop. Cheers 🇺🇲
Thanks Des, appreciated.
Brilliant videos and shots as always! Cheers!
Thank you, appreciate you watching.
This guy gets all the money shots! Paparazzi of the Airplanes. Beautiful Work!!
Thanks David 😎👍
Neck- breaking speed and extreme turning ability by those F-35.
Still Eagles remain right on the same page as them.
Eagles don't burn off their ridiculously expensive coating at mach 1.
As always, work of the highest order!
Glad to see the best Aircraft of all time represented. The C-130!
I remember standing on one of the Welsh mountains in Snowdonia back in the 1980s - think it might have been Cader - and saw a fast jet fly below me like this. I could see the pilot clear as day. Crazy thing to see in real life.
Would of been a busy place in those times ✈️✈️👍
