I always thought the F16 was the sport’s car of fighter jets, until the F35 came along, but the Falcon is still doing the job in huge numbers all over the world.
I saw these four Belgium 🇧🇪 F16’s on the plane finder app last week flying around 🇬🇧. Good to know they took advantage of the Mach loop. Great pictures Elwyn 👍
Quality Elwyn. The camera dropping is a nightmare for you, but adds something different to the video. It takes me back to when I arrived there one morning just as F15s were entering the loop, I stopped the car on a grass verge opposite the farm on the way up to Bwlch from Dinas, I had my phone on a phone holder recording out of the windscreen pointing up towards Spur turn, think yeah that's gonna look nice should they pas through, I jumps out of the car with my camera to take photos of them. Once they'd gone through I got back in the car to look at the video, phone wasn't in the holder it was camera face down on the floor, I completely forgot the holder was connected to my USB port charging it. Because I turned the engine off and took the keys out the phone holder automatically opened resulting in the phone falling out. I watched the video back with a black screen with the awesome sounds of a 4 ship of F15s completing 2 passes through there.
It is also a nightmare to fly, it has computers r performing micro adjustments during flight to ensure that it is going where the pilot wants it to go, cause boy is it unstable.
Great video. I'm 55 and it reminds me of when I got just as close to some in what was a total surprise to me and the Deer I was watching in Skull Valley Utah. Two of them came over us down on the deck went to the end of the Valley then streight up like rockets just before the mountain. We were in the Juniper woods so they didn't see us at that speed . Scared the Heck out of the Deer.. I loved seeing the Aircraft. I think the Deer had a different oppinion.😁
The static camera taking a face plant is a great inclusion 😂 Awesome passes. I'm glad you were on West to get this footage because I know on East, they disappeared for a while by flying so low. Great stuff.
WOW,WOW,WOW, Amazing footage, what an experience for you, it would kill me just trying to get to the top where you are, I would have to get airlifted in a Chinook up and down!! Thank you so much, 🙂
Thought your neck had given up towards the end!!!!! Funny conditions up there, weird light, but you done well Elwyn👍 The Belgians seem to have more flourish than the usual participants!!!!!
Excellent filming, it's great to see the jets flying low with the snow behind them. Where do you guys film from - I've yet too see any fast jets flying around Snowdonia.
I always see that white house down there in the valley in Mach Loop videos. If I lived there I would never get anything done...I'd always be outside watching aircraft
Man down, man down!!! 😂Hope nothing was damaged. Quick question, what’s the max G’s these guys are pulling going though the loop? And as always great video.
Probably been asked before, but is there a way of knowing what will be flying on the day or is it pot luck? Love to visit but is a long way. Great video. Cheers
in my opinion its still the most beautifull fighter there is! almost all of our f16 are going to ukraine......i genuinly hope they can make a difference in there war! greetz from the netherlands.
0:48 is how it's done 💪🏻 ... and 2:02 is how it's _not_ done.😉😂 Big thumbs up for this video! (edit: I wrote about the "big thumbs up" _before_ reading the pinned comment!)
some belgian jets flew over me last week, it said F16 on ADS-B exchange but they had twin tails and the F16 only has a single tail. what could they have been?
If they had twin tails they were not Belgian. Belgium only has F16s. Their first f35 was just delivered last week, but it will stay in the USA for a while, for training purposes.
If you like the video give it a big thumbs up👍
@@klausschlobluvsmesometwood4679 No I dont but I might start this year
That grey-black-orange paintjob is simply gorgeous

It is 👌
I saw these four Belgium 🇧🇪 F16’s on the plane finder app last week flying around 🇬🇧. Good to know they took advantage of the Mach loop. Great pictures Elwyn 👍
I was also watching them on a app praying they would come to Wales 😂
The X Tiger paint job on that one F-16 is awesome.
Brilliant footage! The Belgians certainly know how to put on a show!
Cheers, yes they nailed it on the second pass 👌
The Fort Worth Fighting Falcons still beautiful after all these years! Thanks again ER!
Couldn't agree more! 👌
Belgian and Danish F-16 were made in Charleroi by SABCA
Man, that fly‐by at 0:18!!! What a rush! Stunning video.
cheers, I'm glad I was there 👌

🤣🤣 I always mess up lol, I'm always in a rush and just dont check enough 😇
The Belgian livery is impressive! Tricky light and probably pretty chilly but great footage and couple of excellent stills. Nice. :)
Would have had mutch better pics on the second pass but stuck with the video camera
Great work again, that is a bad ass paint job on the last one. Thank You
yes it is, just a shame the light was poor to get any good photos
Phenomenal footage, best design for a fighter....ever.
Absolutely stunning Elwyn. Great filming. Those second passes, especially the 1st jet 😎 Awesome pilots, awesome jets 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thanks, yes they put in a good second pass and a welcome sight 👌
As always.... Stunning. Plus a rare visitor always make it special!
The camera topple at the end put a smile on my face.
It was a bit windy and the GoPro didnt like it 😂
Nice! Love the demo team's paint scheme. The F-16 must be an absolute blast to fly with home nimble and fast it is.
It is also a nightmare to fly, it has computers r performing micro adjustments during flight to ensure that it is going where the pilot wants it to go, cause boy is it unstable.
That shout of ‘INCOMING’ ! So sadly missing the last few times I’ve been there ! Great vid, as usual. 👍👍
I know the feeling
I saw them in Keswick during the snow. A nice surprise! And the one with the special livery is fantastic.
Very cool!
You are the Master of Mach loop!! FFFFantastic! Thanks Elwyn
Wow, thanks!😊

Magnificent and love the special livery from the Belgium Air Force F-16AM Falcon 😎🤩
they were a nice sight 👌
@@ElwynR ooo that is awesome 😊👍
Looks like an awesome day out in the hills to me. Thanks for posting. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺
It was thanks 👌
Good morning Elwyn glad to see you back. Very nice shots of the Falcons, looks a bit cold.
Thanks 👍 it was but glad to see F16s head my way 😊
I hope these awesome fast movers keep flying! Beautiful!!❤❤
I hope so too!
Great footage and photos Elwyn, as always you never disappoint us and me ofc 😉😊❤
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
Incredible footage, and super-sharp images ... great ... thanks !!!
Many thanks! glad you enjoyed it 👌
Great Job Elwyn. Liked the bit where you Zoomed in on the Earth Worm 🙂
😂😂
The static camera taking a face plant is a great inclusion 😂 Awesome passes. I'm glad you were on West to get this footage because I know on East, they disappeared for a while by flying so low. Great stuff.
I left it a bit late to get up the hill so I ran up West 😂
Oh yes! That sounds awesome 😊
Elwyn you are a a special gift in wendy world absolutely beautiful video you are incredible thanku so much love an God bless always x
WOW,WOW,WOW, Amazing footage, what an experience for you, it would kill me just trying to get to the top where you are, I would have to get airlifted in a Chinook up and down!! Thank you so much, 🙂
It's a good way to keep fit ish 💪 🤣
Thought your neck had given up towards the end!!!!! Funny conditions up there, weird light, but you done well Elwyn👍 The Belgians seem to have more flourish than the usual participants!!!!!
Cheers Bob👍 I was pleasantly surprised and was glad I made the effort to get up there👌
Great stuff Elwyn. Hope that wasn't too expensive at 2:05!
😂 No just a GoPro falling over in the wind! lol
As always Elwyn, thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
cheers Mark 👌
If i want to see Mach Loop aircraft ' I always go to @Elwyn R first. Stunning captures! \0/
Thanks for posting. Great video. 😮
Thanks for watching!
Wow! I would have loved to go see them at RAF Waddington but I had no time!
Likewise couldn't get time off 😔
@@ElwynR oh
Excellent filming, it's great to see the jets flying low with the snow behind them. Where do you guys film from - I've yet too see any fast jets flying around Snowdonia.
Superb Elwyn absolutely superb 👍👌🏴✈️
ATB Andy
Cheers Andy 👍 didnt think they would make it in 👌
@@ElwynR I'm glad they did make it in and you were able to be there to capture it 👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍2:14 ............love the X-TIGER portrait , best shot I have seen !!
Thanks 👍 it was a great shame the light was poor for photos 🙄
Awesome! Seen that they were training up over the North Sea, didn’t realise they’d made a visit to the loop. 👌
Yes twice on Tuesday & that's it all gone home now 👌
Glad vipers back in the loop soon to be f18s and hopefully another f22 💪
That would be good! lets hope so 😇
I got a ride in the back seat of a Dutch F-16 -- fortunately, the pilot was hungover worse than I was, so he took it pretty easy on me :)
What an experience 👏 🤣
As always, Nice shots 🎥 🤙
Thanks 👍
Excellent as always 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
good catch
still producing great videos mate
Much appreciated thanks 😊
ER: Above and beyond expectations.
Nice work again. Still want buy some your work. Thank you.E
Awesome, thank you! 😀👌
Superb footage of Spanish F16s👍
Belgium 👌
I always see that white house down there in the valley in Mach Loop videos. If I lived there I would never get anything done...I'd always be outside watching aircraft
How do you record the jets and get photos of them aswell? Great photos by the way!
The sound at 0:18 😵👌
cheers Andy 👍
@@ElwynR no worries Dave 🤠
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it!👌
De belles prises en vol
Great !!!!.... thanks !!!!.... 😃🤩❤👋👋👋👍👍👍👍👍👍🤙!!!!!
Thank you too! 😀
Man down, man down!!! 😂Hope nothing was damaged. Quick question, what’s the max G’s these guys are pulling going though the loop? And as always great video.
Good question! dont really know! but the bend out of Dinas is a high G bend
@@ElwynR that pull got my attention too!
It seems odd for me to think of F-16s and the words *rare sighting* but thanks for sharing this.
Thanks for watching! but rare for this part of the World and the Mac Loop 😀
@@ElwynR Exactly. Also, the channels I follow only seem to feature them if it's the AF Thunderbirds lately.
Spectacular! Short but sweet. And the stills are absolutely stunning! A shout-out to Lady Elwyn!
Thank you! Cheers! and will do 😀
So cool
Probably been asked before, but is there a way of knowing what will be flying on the day or is it pot luck? Love to visit but is a long way. Great video. Cheers
Pot Luck I'm afraid
in my opinion its still the most beautifull fighter there is! almost all of our f16 are going to ukraine......i genuinly hope they can make a difference in there war! greetz from the netherlands.
"Great video and still photography!"
Many thanks! struggled with my photography with poor light
0:48 is how it's done 💪🏻 ... and 2:02 is how it's _not_ done.😉😂 Big thumbs up for this video!
(edit: I wrote about the "big thumbs up" _before_ reading the pinned comment!)
Thank you 👌😂
Belgium has a great Air Force, sue in part with its very close association with the RAF during WW II, IMHO…
I’d love to be able to go see this in real life
I know it's not the fastest...but it sure looks like it is 😎
Question, do you give your still shots to the pilots or do the pilots hire you to take them? 😊
Sometime we send pilots highres photos
Pushing 50 years old from F-16A with upgraded sensors and missiles, the F-16 is still relevant and viable as Gen 4+
Wasn't this last week as 2 belgium f16s flew over stoke
Yes Tuesday a pair flew through mid morning but four flew through pm
👍👍👍👍👍
some belgian jets flew over me last week, it said F16 on ADS-B exchange but they had twin tails and the F16 only has a single tail. what could they have been?
F-15s maybe
If they had twin tails they were not Belgian. Belgium only has F16s. Their first f35 was just delivered last week, but it will stay in the USA for a while, for training purposes.
At 1:08 you can see the LEX vortices.
They're never flying through on a Sunday are they, or has this already been recorded
recorded from last Tuesday
@@ElwynR ok, thanks for letting me know.
My parents are in Dolgellau for a few days, do you think they might go around the loop on Monday?
@@paulsleighty the 16s have gone back to Belgium but if the weather is ok then there every chance of a Hawk or a Texan from Valley
@@ElwynR ok, thanks Elwyn.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😎
Wow! Pack up the Belgians are coming, the camera has taken cover. Bye!
🤣🤣
Do you do any tours?
no point really nothing flys through most of the time
@@ElwynR How is it that you know there's going to be a fly by? Do you get any heads up?
these posted on their FB page & I live so close I can run up when I spot something on the Radar
@@ElwynR so the correct question should've been do you do airbnb? 😆
Wordle
❤😢
whats your fave fighter jet if you have one
Any fast jet really, but the F15 👌
@@ElwynR nice mine is the f18 or the eurofighter typhoon
02:02 Are you OK? 😳
☺️ yes my gopro fell over in the wind 🤣
"INCOMING" haha
❤💯💥💯💥💯💥💯💥💯💥
Plop😂👍🏻
🤣
Here's hoping we see some Ukraine F-16's in the loop soon.
Hopefully this is what Russian ground forces will see flying over there heads soon!!
Hyfryd! Ydych chi'n meddwl bydd siawns weld nhw wythnos nesa?
Siwans ?

@@Roseeeeee 🤣 mae nhw wedi mynd yn ol

Duhhh, just play the film instead of biggin it up............................
The first F-16s in four years! I think its worth biggin up 🤗
@Phillip Banes we have had some USA 16s a couple of years ago! but they never nailed it and missed most of the loop out
Am a retired military man , an this shows me that American air power , WE OWN THE SKIES . OOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAHHHHHH
