Hustling like mad to catch another shot of the Chinook and a C-130 pops out! Wasn’t expecting that! Thanks for all you do to give us a glimpse of the Mach Loop!
Thank you for watching.
My dog Lusus is not afraid of anything, except chinooks. When one flew over my shack he walked inside. I couldn't get over that!???? The Chinook was less than 100 feet above us and we were getting prop wash.
They've certainly got a unique sound. Maybe it's too much for your dog, suppose if it heard it all the time they'd get used to it.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation they fly over the area that I live in for practice. The one I'm referring to was desert camo and low and loud . We get a lot of 130s out here also, I have a tower 🗼 on the property and that must be some kind of landmark for them. When they are low you can't hear them until their right on you.
I live near Sikorsky and idk if they have a contract to work on them or what since Boeing makes them but every once in awhile one will come by and you KNOW it’s a chinook before you even step outside😂. Sometimes it’s the special operations one from the 160th which is pretty cool.
You must live near Odiham, Hampshire, UK ??
Probably the sub tones from the rotors not audible to the human ear. Both chinook and Huey do it.
Love it! That was a great combo. I was a very lucky chap last week.....got to fly in a Chinook, right next to the crewman on the rear ramp. Unbelievable at low level all around my local neighbourhood. That was a bucket list item ticked off. Wanted to do that since I was ten years old....now 60!! 😊
Thanks, amazing to experience, I bet.
That gives me 10 more years to achieve the same
Nice catch! Incredibly low above the fields of sheep and that road. And then, after it had disappeared behind the cliff, the Hercules suddenly popped up. Great!
Thanks so much.
Watching the Snook hoofing it above the road was a sight indeed! The Herc was a bonus.
Yep, it's my fault, not what I expected to see.
Id love to see the reactions of some of those drivers on the road
I just love chinook’s, the double rotor’s with the whomping beat is proper heart thumping stuff. Great video indeed. It’s a wonderful place to view military aviation in flight.
Yeah, awesome sounds from them. Thanks for watching the video.
The best sound man
Wokka wokka!
it is truely an iconic sound and instantly recognisable.
My Youngest nephew is crew chief, loadmaster, maintenance, qualified for them. Word is he turned down pilot training, he's having more fun doing the several job he's doing with Chinook. He's recently transferred back to that famous and recently renamed helicopter base in Alabama, think to be an instructor maybe. I forget Fort Rucker's new name other than it starts with 'Nov ...', and the guy it is now named for flew many, many, medivac flights in Southeast Asia, and was awarded some serious medals.
Excellent film footage Darren. Lucky your static camera has got your back. 😊.. unusual to see them doing that but I loved hearing the Herc pilot asking the whirlybird if it was ok to go over him!!! Brilliant stuff. 🙂
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it, I think if the Chinook wasn't loud through the valley, I'd have heard them talking, but then the video outcome wouldn't have been the same.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation those things are loud. It's something about their sound that gives you goosebumps and Chinooks have been my favorite since a kid
The sheep aren't used to the chinook, all scarpering as it passes. ha ha.
Might have been due to the farmer going down the road too, probably with food for them.
Had to turn this up to max to hear those throbbing blades, brilliant.
Awesome, amazing sounds.
flying in these are so fun especially flying map of the earth and you feel every bump and watch all the trees go under you while you here the thump thump of the rotor blades and the hydraulics whiring its truly an amazing feeling also the ch-47s are a kickass bird
I can only imagine how awesome it is.
MARCH 2023
Stunning ariel footage of the RAF Chinnock, but a nice surprise was to see the Hercules too.
🇬🇧Ⓜ️👍👍👍🤗🤗🤗🤗
Thank you so much.
We lived near Odiham on a slight hill. The house was surrounded by many tall trees. One day a Chinook was terrain following and came right over the house, as they often do. But I don't think the pilot had allowed for both the terrain rising and the tall trees ( presumably their onboard mapping does not show trees). The engines were wound up and he climbed as hard as he could to only just miss the trees. I could look into the open ramp as he continued climbing past the trees. I was used to them but this was the lowest and loudest I had experienced.
Maybe he really knew what he was doing and had it all planned but looked like a mistake to me as no other occasion were they that low.
Awesome, I would not be surprised if it was all part of their training.
I used to fly in them a lot in Panama in the 90s. Everywhere we went down there was flying nap of the earth. They flew very close to the trees. Flying along the canal, we would fly below the decks of passing cruise ships, looking up at the waving passengers lol.
Hueys were more fun because we could see out better, but the Chinook were faster, both flying at tree top level.
Yeah the chinook doesn't have a ground radar but just a GPS and some other knick knacks onboard.
WOOOOW!!!!!!!! Looooove the sound of the chinook
Awesome sounds
Two amazing workhorses! They’ve served us well for so many years!
Yes they sure have.
I thought it was magic, but then you took the wind out of my sails with that stationaly camera shot.😁 Another great video Darren. And be careful running around up there.
Glad you enjoyed it, Certainly was a dumb move on my behalf, bit of a drop to the bottom if I'd slipped over.
Pretty cool watching the Chinook and the Herc. It reminded me of when I was flying in my early days [In the US] I would fly my C-172 in the valleys nearby. One day, as I came around a tight corner, I began to start my climb out of the valley. Trimmed up and scanning the area I see something funny to my right. Looks like a smoke trail [not a contrail] to my 2 o'clock position. I didn't see any aircraft so I kept climbing. Still, the smoke trail is getting thicker and closer but still no aircraft sighted. I then lean WAAAAAY forward and suddenly I see a C-130 in my forward window! I realized we are on a collision course and I shoved the yoke forward to start an immediate descent. After the descent, I figured out what had happened. The reason I didn't seem him was that he was "behind" the a/c right window/door frame. Due to our both maintaining a stable flight, our approach to each other never changed so he remained hidden behind the window frame until I leaned forward. Thank God for the C-130 smoke trail. A few weeks later while downhill skiing the same valley, a C-130 flew through the valley at the same altitude I did before. Haha, I never did that again. Cell phone towers were the killer to valley flying.
Wow, certainly was a close call for you all.
was that a herc or 400?
Wow, the chinook was low…. 😮
It looks a lot lower than it actually was, I've been lucky enough to watch a video from a dash cam in the valley, super cool.

Thanks Darren
Amazing chinook
Absolutely
The scariest ride I ever took was on a Chinook. The whole flight the Crew Cheif was running around with a roll of electrical tape, taping up leaking hydraulic lines. Quote from the Crew Chief “ you only have to worry if they stop leaking “ when we finally landed and he lowered the ramp we all skated down the ramp on a film of hydraulic fluid. True story AIT Fort McClellan Alabama circa 1983.
Wow, amazing story.
Chinook is practising IFR (I Follow Roads)
lol
Wow, I've never seen that happen before Darren 👌 superb capture there!
You were definitely in the right place at the right time 👍 if only you had figured out where the Chinook had veered off too but at least you caught on to the Hercules.
I've just had 2 day's camping in the Cad pass and all I saw was mist rolling through the valley 😖 never mind I'll get lucky one day 🤞😂
Thanks, Andy.
Gutting for you, that area has got it's on micro climate on times.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation you're right there Darren, plus never believe the weather forecast. Lesson learned 👍😂
No definitely do not follow some of the weather forecasts for that area.
Surely will be one of the three great aircraft that will be flying 100 years after gteat models flew. Other two are BUFFS ( B 52'S ) & Hueys .
Yeah, for you.
Absolutely awesome. Best sound I’ve heard from a chinook recording.
Wow, thanks!
Wonderful shots!
Thank you so much.
Looked over my shoulder while I was supervising a class a Conwy school to see two Hercs flew straight past super close down the Conwy estuary 🤟
Awesome, must have been super cool to see.
Pretty bad ass! Thanks for taking the time to share this. New sub. 👍 👍
Thanks so much.
Why it feels like a game😂
As real as can be.
It was a Chinook/C-130 Transformer! ;o) I can't imagine what the drivers on that road felt when that monster went over them at about 100 feet. Wow!
Would have been awesome to be driving under
Do Chinooks typically fly that low going into the valley? At one point it looked like he was just a few meters off the deck!
It looks a lot lower than it actually was, I've been lucky enough to watch a video from a dash cam in the valley, super cool.
Also depends what they are practicing for. Had C-130s and chinooks going at full pelt 50ft off the ground over salisbury plains during the Afghan stuff practicing fast inserts and extractions.
Yes, depending on the area and authorisation given, flight as low as 50ft AGL is permitted. When flying concealed approach and departure, down to 10ft AGL is permitted.
Just think if you was the guy overtaking the tractor as the chinook came over… 🤣😂🤣
Like - what’s that noise? 😳
lol, "That's a funny sounding tractor"
Wow!
Thanks.
As an American nothing makes the hair standup on my body like the sound of a Chinook, Huey or the early AH1 2 blade cobras. I LOVE THAT POPPING SOUND😁
Amazing
I was an armyedic and flew in most of the helicopters. The Lynx was the master of hedge hopping
Awesome.
The unmistakable sound of the chinooks rotors….
Yeah music to my eyes.
In 2019 when we had the "dodgy dam" near disaster in my town ( Whaley Bridge, High Peak ) we got so used to the sight and sound of the Chinooks coming in down Goyt Valley and dropping the super large "sandbags" into the dam "hole" to shore it up. Incredible seeing them up so close with their distinctive sound and also the incredibly skilled pilots. They basically turned round at the end of our road after each run, just amazing! Many thanks for the help, it was appreciated. Lots of folk in town still have their Chinook stickers!
Amazing, a workhorse of RAF/USAF.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation kinda its US Army aviation not air-force still working hard where ever she is though
Apache flies over your house 😮 Chinook flies over your whole house shakes.
😆
Last time I was on a C130 Hercules aircraft was in Cyprus of January 2023, 😊
Brilliant.
An explanation of what and where the Mach Loop is would be helpful. Great video though. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, I not really needed to a video like that as theirs plenty on RUclips for you to check out.
It's a series of Valleys in Wales (UK) where military aircraft do low-level flight training.
The Chinook is one of the best military assets this country has!
Cad Valley thats where the toys are made.
😆
Crazy!! 💪😎👌
Think I was the crazy one running along the cliff edge trying to capture the Chinook as it passed below, lol.
Crikey the mighty wokka being chased by a Herc, makes a change to F15’s!
Yeah, it's certainly different.
If you want more views leave more black at the end of your videos or just put some scrap video and run it for 30-60 seconds. When the video ends it’s hard to have time to see what’s there (your other video links) and to click and move up to them before the next video auto starts. And it’s never the same user. So I have to click reply quickly. Then fast forward through to near the end and quickly look at the annotations again. If you left 30 seconds on at the end you’d get a lot more click through views. Watch on a tv or Apple TV with the RUclips app.
Thanks for the feedback, and can easily extend the last bit, but it'll have to be on my next video.
Maybe I should make an end screen with some of my stuff on there.
woppa woppa woppa I will never forget that sound. 7 years RAF and 4 months on 15 Squadron Chinooks in late 82 down south. Have some photos of a Chinook lifting a Chinook.
Awesome, some great times, I bet.
I've also got pics of a Chinook lifting a Chinook and a Chinook lifting a Phantom. Both taken at Stanley airfield in the Falklands '83.
Cool!
Always good to have a backup camera rolling.
Same with me and my trainspotting hobby :)
Thanks for watching. It sure is good to have an extra camera pointing towards the oncoming aircraft, I missed F15s before but saved the video because of the extra camera.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation
Yeah indeed.
:)
2 of the loudest hydraulic pumps I've ever riden:
Cool.
Remember folks before you cross the road:
- look left, look right, and look UP!
Love it, 😆
One few over my house about 50 feet all the leaves blew off the the tree, really really great, they have flown over lots of times since, but never that low, why not? E Sussex.
Wow awesome, from the position i'm standing on the Chinook looks a lot closer to the ground than it was.
Autobots roll out!
Awesome......
Your camera angle makes it seem like the Chinook is flying extremely low. It looks like it spooked the sheep. You'd think they would be used to it.
It does look low, it doesn't spook all of the sheep, the Farmer was turning into the road that leads to the farm, maybe they spotted it, and were hoping for some food other than grass.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation It was low, look at the shadow.
I've watched a video clip from the road, and the Chinook goes through at a decent height for a helicopter.
@Mike Emery I know it looks really low but it just appears that way due to the angle it was filmed and the terrain. If it was that low you would see dust and debris getting kicked up from the rotor wash.
@@seansean9675 The aircraft go through at different heights through there.
Something look very weird with the shadows on the ground... Real or fake?
It's absolutely a real video.
The two aircraft that defined my Army career - amazing aircraft that have stood the test of time
Awesome
Rare breeds that the military got their money's worth out of.
Spent a whole day flying round the Falklands in a wokka back in 1985. Good times. Would love to do it again.
wow , amazing.
Outstanding and thank you for taking the shots, summer is coming and wont be as cold. Looking forward to more video footage.
Thank you for watching. Hopefully, there'll be more visits there and the Lakes this year.
Before switching to the static camera I thought "Wow, a real autobot!" 😂
🤣, maybe I should have added it.
Still the best sounding plane ever. Chinnock comes a close second to the huey. 🇬🇧
Yeah, for sure, but never heard a huey in person so can't say what it sounds like.
In August of 2020 I had a few Chinooks fly over my house helping with wildfire evacuation…
There were a bunch of people at a lake that was completely surrounded by a growing wildlife and a couple of Chinooks and Blackhawks landed and evacuated them at night, in very smoky conditions, with lots of fire on all sides…
Wow, amazing.
Totally fantastic! The sound of the Chinook is like no other I have ever heard. Two banked over my car a few years back very low. I will never forget that for the rest of my life. I must admit, I did have a bit of a chuckle at hearing you giving it the legs off the static camera. Had a picture in my head of you going from 0 to 60 in a panic. Top video subbed and liked. Sterling work pal. Much love.
Thank you so much. I'm just glad I didn't trip over. it's a long way down to the road.
While in a company that had Hueys the CH 47 aka the shit hook brought back disabled ships in Nam. The only helicopter that could do 2 things: float in water and blow off heavy box of 500 watt light bulbs off the roof of our 3/4 ton truck while I was relamping flight line lights.
We use these beauty's for bushfire control in summer in Australia.
,you can certainly here Em coming
Awesome, amazing machines.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation absolutely. We actually borrow it from the US and Canada each year in their winter.
Brilliant.
Now THAT’S Low Level! 😎👊🏻
Good show old boy
Thanks
I worked on the Chinook for over 10 years
Awesome
I live less than a mile from the US Army California National Guards (1106th) AVCRAD, I see them and Blackhawks every single day. Often the big Palm trees at the amusement park across the street get bustled about by rotor wash, sometimes they get so low you can smell the jet fuel fumes.
Amazing to see, I bet.
It’s one of those dang transformers
😂
I wondered why the Chinook was so low.. Awesome!
0:56 I love these videos of the Mach Loop. Would love to see one with an A-10 Warthog
Thank you, there as been some through previous, im sure the video is on RUclips, I'll try and find it for you.
Nice!
Thanks!
TWO Mighty Relics . That are STILL the best thing in their Class , flying .
Yeah, they sure are.
The Chinook my brother crewed in Camp Holloway Vietnam got upgraded to a MH model and is still flying and doing the same job with 160th SOAR and fly's over our house all the time.
(Soar idea started at Camp Holloway with the 119th and 179th)
Awesome.
Ohio National Guard flies the Chinook over my house all the time around 500-800ft. Shakes the whole damn house.
Wow, crazy.
I am an aircraft engineer that did my time with QANTAS in Sydney on commercial Boeing's. I also did a stint under contract on the Prime Minister's 707 ( same airport , Charles Kingsford Smith , Sydney ). I also did two stints on Chinooks as a civvie with the RN at RNAY Fleetlands, Gosport. The Chinook is my favourite all time aircraft, and the sound is one that you know straight away. When you've flown in one of these , it's well, an experience to say the least. Good times. AussieMart.
It must have been an amazing time for you. The Chinook will always be an iconic aircraft.
Reminds me of back in the '80's when my wife and I were sitting on top of Snowy Mtn, in the Adirondacks, and two A-10's flew around the mountain, below our feet, so close that I could have hit them with a stone. We both still talk about it as a once in a lifetime highlight.
Very cool, although the stone throw wouldn't cross my mind, but I know what you mean.
I work in East London and am often delighted to see a pair of Chinooks following the Thames to/from Woolwich Barracks. They're bloody beautiful and the sound is magical.
Awesome, yeah sounds of them are amazing.
bro that prop rumble gave me chills even over video
Now that is awesome what a sight
Thank you, Ben.
I love that sound
Aww finally my fav round the loop, saving lives and UK ba backbone for ops since the Falklands, what a machine and how low was that, the sound just never gets old does it.
Awesome machine. The sounds is something else. I've seen a video from someone driving through the valley in their car, from that video it's really not that low, from where I am it makes it look lower. Still if I was in one of the cars as it turns the corner I'd probably wondering what the heck is going on.
Other kids dreamt of flying a jet I still want to fly a Chinook .
(I'd settle for a passenger --Hint)
Now that would be nice, even better if it was travelling through the Mach Loop.
I'd love to go an spend the day there watching everything fly through, and living in the UK it wouldn't be such a bad journey, but how do you know where and when they fly? I don't want to drive for several hours just to find nothing happening...
The days sitting on the hill can be long and very cold, but if you're lucky enough to see something go through, it's well worth it, but don't be surprised if you see nothing through though.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation Thanks Darren. It sounds like there's no published timetable and a picnic should be the aim of the day and hope they fly through!
If you've got a pop up 2 man tent, I highly recommend you take one, the weather can change in an instants up there, and normally for the worse.
Jeez, those cars got a good view! Just how goddam low was that Chinook flying at some points?! 🤯
I watched a video, from a guy, who was videoing on his phone while passing through in a car, it it was up high enough, it just looks a lot closer to the ground from my vantage point on the hill.
I remember the chinooks in and out of northern ireland all the time, you knew exactly what is was before you seen them, loved to see them flying over
Such a distinctive sound.
Sweet 👍
Loved the radio traffic too 👌
Glad you enjoyed it
What ??? It changed from an helicopter in an Hercules?? Secret weapon??
Love it...
I wonder if the Chinook felt any wake turbulence from the Herc?
Good question!
Transformers Chinook to aircraft
Would love to go over sometime(Ireland) it's on the list, just wondering, how often do they fly, or is just sit and wait and hope they're training that day? Great video 👍
Thank you for watching. It's just sit and wait, just enjoy the stunning views. If an aircraft goes through, that's a bonus. Days can be very long. Wrap up warm at the bottom. If it then feels warm up the top, then you can remove clothing. it's best to have too much on than not enough.
Thanks Darren, good to know, maybe mite do some fishing around the area, but might be abit hard if I'm watching the sky's 😂👍
Gotta love those workhorses. Did 5 years in the paratrooper’s, Chinooks and C130s were what we used the most during my tour. Now 48 years later, I am still able to identify both by sound alone. They do make a lasting impression. 🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
Wow awesome.
From someone who has played too much Arma 2 these aircraft will always bring a smile to my face.
Reminds me of growing up near Ft. Hood, TX.
Transformers at it best. Big up British army 🇬🇧❤
In California, the military helicopters follow the freeway system when flying. Once in a while, I'll catch a Chinook, Super Stallion and even a Cobra.
WOW, awesome.
Used to love flying NOE in helicopters, C--130, C-141, etc. en route to the drop zone, then pop up to a few hundred feet and out the door!
Awesome, I probably wouldn't be able to do that.
Where is this mach loop ? Im guessing its part of RAF training
The Mach Loop is a low fly area in Wales (UK)
Looks like me on Cad West with my brother. Was this February the 8th by any chance?
HI, Yeah fair play to you, it was 8th February this year.
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation Thought it was yes Darren and on the big massive TV in high resolution I can just about make out me and my brother on cad west on the static camera as the Herc comes through. This was my debut on the Hills earlier this year.
Thanks Darren and Happy new year pal 🎉🏴🙏🤙🏼
Brilliant, that was the first, of what will quickly become loads of visits to the hills of the Mach Loop for you. Happy New Year to you too.
Unfortunately when we flew through there in MH-53s, it was usually at night so there aren’t many good videos or stills of us in that area.
That's such a shame. Now, that would have been a sight to see through there.
Love it 🙏
Cheers, thanks.
I think that one day, a whole squadron of helicopters ought to be moving as fast as they can through the mach loop, while jets are just maxing out going through, passing the slower choppers over and over again, and to hear plane pilots signaling to the choppers, "On your left".
Now, that would be an amazing sight. Unfortunately, something that would never happen up there.
It's a magic trick! The Brits can turn a Chinook into a Hercules! 😅
😆 🤣
Transchopper
chinook in disguise
Love it.
The RAF does have transformers.
LOL
