'79.....I was finshing up my 4 years in the Corps in Beaufort in an F-4J Phantom squadron. We had an Air Force newfangled F-15 stay overnight in our hanger with an engine oil leak. Folks.... that was over 45 years ago!!! and they STILL look state of the art 🙂
Its funny how lots of the mach loop videos are very similar but i still get exited to watch each time there is a new one. Some amazing stills there too wow.
Elwyn this is just soooooooooo amazing , I could watch American air superiority and air power all day . Even when it comes to our allies , you are truly blessed to be able to do that task
At our rc field we have a little valley and hills in line with our 400 foot runway. I invented a move I call the "Mach Loop run" - I go in at ground level and then in front of the hill I pull up into one end of a Cuban 8 then back down the runway and into the valley at the other end of the field and then complete the Cuban 8. The Avanti 2 80mm jet is my favorite airplane to do this with. I was inspired by watching Mach Loop videos.
Wonderful quality captures, the Herc and A400 looked cool. I wonder if someone would put a Spitfire through the Loop one day, the sound would be awesome too, thank you for sharing
@@ElwynR Very fine camera. Thanks. And it always reminds me that it these pilots make certain mistakes, they will die. They cannot get out safely always. Guts, glory and talent. My best wishes to them.
Hello mr Elwyn to achieve someone this shoot in the 1:38 minute of this amazing video what shutter speed has to put on his dslr 1/8000 is enough or higher?
I see many flying with weapons. In the mid/late 70's when I was in, we rarely did....even with the Cold War. Only during missille shoots, etc. The World is a mess, atm. I hope cooler heads prevail. and I'll leave it at that.
@@ElwynR Copy that mate, I went Tues 15th Oct..AM… saw cock all … was in the area so did Cad West for the first time. Said it was gonna be fair cloud.. but it pissed it down then cleared up then pissed down again 🙄🙄🙄
Was that Canadian taking pics of you taking pics of him?🤔😂😂 Loving the heavies, good to see some different insignias.. Thanks Elwyn, top stuff as always 👍👍👍👍

Yes I agree, but they all take different lines then there's different light and weather make it all unique 👌
Those guys on the back of the 130 have the best seat in the house.
I'd pay good money to sit there lol
@@ElwynR lol
you could just do like did and join the Corps 🙂
@@ElwynR no doubt!
not at my age lol
@@ElwynR bahaha.........if thats the case, you dont have a bad seat, my friend
thanks for all you do 🙂
The F35 is a beast😱😍
All those haters calling it 'Fat Amy' haven't got a clue. It's nimble, lithe, and totally befitting the name Lightning
Four flew over my home last year here in South Wales, what a sight and the sound, WOW!
F-15's charisma is still intact 🤩😍🤩
Yes for now 👌
Still one of meanest machines ever made.
@@ElwynR They just Updated it. The F-15 Eagle EX is Even deadlier than the Strike eagle II ;) will last another 30 years :)
Clearest footage on 🫵 RUclips
Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks!
Many thanks to you 😊 very kind 👌
01:26 awesome shot 👌
Many thanks 👌
1:15 super cool manuevers ... nice airshow video
Bialo czerwona szachownica- brawo
Elwyn this is just soooooooooo amazing , I could watch American air superiority and air power all day . Even when it comes to our allies , you are truly blessed to be able to do that task
Absolutely brilliant footage of F-15E, F-16C , F-35A , Puma helicopter and others in action via Mach Loop, stunning 😎👍
F35s were B not A, RAF.

Fantastic Elwyn! Thank you!
Wonderful footage, thank you for uploading!
Thank you too! 👌
F-15 will always be the king of the fighter jets
Me too 👌
@@ElwynR Dito
You are 100% correct. What other fighter a/c re-enters production over 50 years after its first flight?
The MIGHTY EAGLE!
The fact it's approaching 5 decades is unreal. What a beast
Ditto
Mistrz jest jeden Erwin R.
Many thanks 👌
Still the best LFA7 footage, by a country mile 👏
Many thanks 👌
@@ElwynR35s are cute, but that 15E howl!
It's wonderful, the F-16 is cool 👍
Still love the F-16!
My next mach loop video next week should feature plenty of F16s 👍
They looked super agile too for some reason.
Proud American here...man we make some bad ass shit...
Standing at the Mach Loop would be sooo exciting!
Congrats Elwyn on the elexcent video especially F-35 so enjoyable. Thanks again.
Thank you for watching 👀 👌
Lovely sound from the jets 💙
Just totally amazing brilliant capturing these amazing jets listening to the power of those engines such brilliant aircraft thank you so much.
Thank you 👌
The still shot of the F15 pressure wave contrail is right up there E.R.
Wow, another fantastic video. Please keep doing the hard work.
Thank you! Will do! 😉
Absolut super und phantastische Aufnahmen und richtig geile Bilder. Ich bin richtig begeistert. 👍👍 from Germany
Many thanks 👌
Absolutely BRILLIANT. Thank you.

Probably one of my all time favourite videos with all the variety of planes.❣❣❣
Glad you enjoyed it! 👌
@@ElwynR Thank you.
Well, that's beautiful 👍🏻
Maybe I'll be able to fly to the UK next June. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
Cool 👌 book the weather 🤞
Wonderful quality captures, the Herc and A400 looked cool. I wonder if someone would put a Spitfire through the Loop one day, the sound would be awesome too, thank you for sharing
Me too! Spitfire would be awesome 😍
You are ridiculously good at capturing these aircraft.
Thanks for your kind words 👍
Pack you're kit, because you guys are hard-core with military aviation! You're in the middle of no-where taking footage! Great Work!😆🤘🫡
Brilliant. Fantastic footage.
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
Impressive camera work, planes and helicopters aren't bad either xx
Many thanks 👌
Fantastic footage
Glad you enjoyed it 👌
WOW! What incredible photography! Almost as awesome as the aircrafts themselves!
Thanks a lot! 👌
Great Videos, Elwyn. I realize how challenching it is to track this fast moving jets with a Camera. Keep them coming.
Thank you Elwyn R ❤😊
Di Iawn Elwyn, unusual for the F-15E to get that low through the Bwlch!
These were well seasoned pilots 👌
Wonderful. Well done!
Awesome 👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Good day..nice to see Canada's new fighter, eh?
😉
Very nice pictures, and video 😊
Thank you very much! 👍
I am still amazed every time I watch these videos. So awesome. Thank you for sharing.💚
The still frame shots are amazing.♥️♥️♥️
Thank you very much!
Great videos and photos Elwyn, regards from Poland ⬜🟥
Many thanks! 👌
Just another fantastic video.....I don't think you know how to make a bad one!!!!:)
Wow, thank you! 😊
outstanding
Very nice, just can't imagine the noise coming from the ridges (ear plugs required).
Pretty quiet it's when your directly underneath it gets noisy 😁
Wow! Great vid and those pictures look stellar!
Glad you like them! Many thanks 👌
GREAT !!!! thanks !!!! 😃🤩😲💫👍👍👍👍🙏
Thank you! Cheers!
Brilliant 😊
Great video and stills.
Superb Elwyn, thankyou for sharing.
Thank you 👌
FAB ❤️
The sheep in the valleys and on the hillsides don't even look up anymore. They can probably tell you what plane is overhead from the sound.
😁
Oh! What a ride.
świetne ujęcia Edwin, jak zawsze mam ciarki
Wonderful...thanks Elwyn, hailing to you from NE FLA.
Many thanks from a rainy Wales 😉
Wow 🤩👌 Thank you 🙏
Woww!! 👍👍👍👍
That is awesome. Thank you for showing us this. I’m a new follower and love your videos.
How fast were the Fighter Jets going (about)?
Around 500 knots
Nice
Thanks
Lovely work
F16 the game changer? That's funny!
Badass
Absolutely superb. Do they fly here every day? I’m thinking of wild camping
not bank hols and weekends and the weather will have a big affect on flying
@@ElwynR ok, tyvm. Do you track them on radio or Flightradar24 etc?
@@ElwynR Very fine camera. Thanks. And it always reminds me that it these pilots make certain mistakes, they will die. They cannot get out safely always. Guts, glory and talent. My best wishes to them.
@@roderickcampbell2105 that is too true, only exemplifies their skills. There has been no crashes here I think.
yes Flightradar but they dont all track
Nice, 👍
Thanks 👍
We see them flying over Welshpool and Lake Vyrnwy, may I ask where abouts these were filmed? I just love seeing them,. 🙂
Bwlch Oerddrws , Dinas pass on the A470 between Dolgellau and Dinas Mowddwy and Tal y Llyn pass N Wales
awesome video and some great shots! Very keen to visit the mach loop and would love to know a bit more about where and when to go?
always in a hurry - "chow hall closes in 30 mins, gotta' Go gotta' GO."
Elywn you have done it again just great video’s as you always do thank you,✈️✈️⭐️👍👌
Glad you enjoyed it, many thanks 😊
Nice 👌
Thank you! Cheers!
Good!!!
Thks, friend!
thank you 👍
Hi mate, I'm writing from Brazil and I'm curious to know where this place is and how to get there? Thanks for the great videos.
If you Google Mach loop there you will get plenty of info it's north Wales UK
Hello mr Elwyn to achieve someone this shoot in the 1:38 minute of this amazing video what shutter speed has to put on his dslr 1/8000 is enough or higher?
Its 1/1600 ISO 560 F2.8
@ElwynR thanks for the tip
Great thet you're back !
And I'm glad lol
Old is diamond not gold
I'm always curious what is the point of these Mach Loop exercises
Low level training
F35 looks plenty agile to me. Some in DCS seem to think it's a slug.
I'm pretty sure it's capable enough
@@ElwynR indeed
holy f impressive
I see many flying with weapons. In the mid/late 70's when I was in, we rarely did....even with the Cold War. Only during missille shoots, etc.
The World is a mess, atm. I hope cooler heads prevail. and I'll leave it at that.
I totally agree 👍
i would love to know where this place is exactly
It's called the Machynlleth loop between Dolgellau and Machynlleth hence the Mach loop north Wales
Great quality video as ever, Elwyn - keep up the great work, thanks! 👍👍
Thanks, will do! 👌
Maverick?
Could be 😁
lol cool
How do you know when they are Going to fly
you sit there and wait lol
Was this, this week mate ?
Yes most, but the Canadian C130 and the Puma from the previous week oh and the Polish F16s from a month ago
@@ElwynR Copy that mate, I went Tues 15th Oct..AM… saw cock all … was in the area so did Cad West for the first time. Said it was gonna be fair cloud.. but it pissed it down then cleared up then pissed down again 🙄🙄🙄

I always check this www.mwis.org.uk/forecasts/english-and-welsh/snowdonia-national-park
yes it looked like it lol, I have a few videos to upload catching up 😇
A re-upload ? It seems to me I saw it a few weeks ago.
No, all new footage off me! 👌
Where are British planes? Soon you will forget you manufactured any...
We don't manufacture anything anymore in the UK 😬
