D Stew that is a special 2018 paint job commenerating the signing of the 60 years ago. www.rcaf-arc.forces.gc.ca/en/article-template-standard.page?doc=2018-demonstration-hornet-celebrates-norad-s-60th-anniversary/jf023qkx.
It's been a long time since I was up on top of a mountain with friends, watching the Tornadoes flying up the glen BELOW us; there's nothing like that feeling of awe. The lead pilot even had time to wave to us. Something else. Cheers Elwyn.
Loved the Gripen, I've never seen one in the UK before, the pilot wasn't taking it gently either, nice and low. The wing waggle off the Canadian was pure class, plenty of spacial awareness and capacity to manage that through the Loop.
Love the F-15, the undefeated champion in military aircraft! Never lost a plane in battle... I actually got the chance to sit in one in 1976, they had some out touring small towns celebrating the Bicentennial... impressed the hell out of a 15 year old...
Ha - same two things I was about to comment on. Additionally, with the display the second F18 put on showing off that spiffy paint job, I'd say those Canadian boys were living up to the name of their team. That was a nice little demo..
My dad(a proud Welshman) and ex RAF,always respected the Canadian boys. Doing the best with what they have. That 'thank you' wing wave typical of us Canadians. Would have brought a tear to his eyes,as it did mine. Thank you for this and all,stay healthy!
Yep, they certainly do! I was at a house party in Lincolnshire (where I live) and one of the guys is a Typhoon pilot at RAF Coningsby .... who showed us his fly pasts from 2018. Pretty impressive I have to say.
I wonder how many pilots make that radar lock sound from Top Gun, and imagine taking out the spectators with a well place missile. That's what I'd be doing.
I went to Junior High School at Lakenheath RAF in 1966-67. My Father was stationed at Mildenhall and we lived at Feltwell RAF...great memories living there.
I just ran across this. It was freekin awesome!! I am a 15 year Air Force disabled veteran and was stationed at RAF Alconbury for 4 years. Beautifully done!! Enjoyed the last RAF jet! It was really beautiful. My spouse did the flight suits for the SR71.
Lovely to see the Gripen and the Tornado with wings swept back but the Osprey disappearing into that sunset was fantastic. As for 2019 more of the same for me please.
@Kaykay Masson When the wings are swept back it gives better high speed performance (lower drag etc). When the wings are forward the Tornado can operate at much lower speeds and also shorter takes offs. But I just really like the look of it when the wings are swept back.
I work with the RCAF and helped with the public roll out of the 2018 demo jet. Glad you enjoyed the aircraft, it is one of my personal favourite paint schemes we did.
@@bruzote haha! From what i can tell it happens at 6:23. Before that it's just the hazy sort of effect from the hot exhaust. then at that time, the haze-plume gets more severe and bigger and you also see more visible soot!
From 5:00 to 5:12 was my favorite. Perfect location, perfect zoom and tracked flawlessly. It must have been an adrenaline rush to be where you were standing. Nice work and great video.
That's not showboating!! He's acknowledging some die hard aviation enthusiasts with a nice wave!!!! They come into our local airport sometimes. And depending on what way they take off. They give the same wave to the ATC on the way out.
The CF-18 Blew Me Away with the color scheme! Out F****** Standing Naval Aviator! Wooo Whooo!!!! Plus it's my favorite jet fighter presently CF/F/A Hornet and Super Hornet Versions.
Absolutely love the tornado gr4 always remember the 1st time I seen one at raf cosford air show when I was 6yrs old it was silent until it passed then the sound hit gave me goosebumps and a fright with the after burners on too from then I fell in love with them. Thanks for sharing this video superbly done 👍👍👍
Phenomenal camera work! This powerfully highlighted just how beautiful and graceful these fighter jets really are when in the hands of highly skilled pilots. Factor in the gorgeous setting and I’d have to say this is one of the best videos I’ve seen in a while. Again, great work and thank you!
I work near RAF Stafford. Every other week there's Chinooks and the occasional Super Puma overhead. Plus the police birds are training near-by too. Best job I've had so far. Excellent video boss. Osprey has to be top 3. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry about your bad experience guys, it can happen anywhere. If you are back in the Belle Province, let me know, we are generally very welcoming and generous after a simple "Bonjour". ;-) !
You get the good and the bad everywhere you travel. I have been saying for many years that if you get more than two people together, you'll get a jerk in the bunch. Ignore the ignorant. They want attention. Draw the good to you and you will enjoy yourself more.
The things we read on RU-vid sometimes:) Quebec people never had the ruputation of being rude. I never heard that before. It's not because you meet one rude person in a whole province that everybody is rude!;)
WOW!! Elwyn,.... Spectacular footage as always mate.... but.... this one is something else! Those RCAF Demo's were superb! 1st one giving a wave to the guys and the 2nd lining up to go on his side to show off the paint work!! Brilliant mate and so jealous I wasn't there to see it. Thanks for sharing mate!!!
Oh my oh my....what a fabulous top 10....a few pilots giving that "hi-bye" as they flew through, amazing captures Elwyn, well done and thanks for sharing....happy new year 🏆👍🏼😊
Absolutely spectacular to watch. These pilots clearly have amazing skills and nerves of steel! I saw something similar by chance in the Yorkshire Dales years ago. And the noise!
The check and the Canadian own this vid. Great photography of some great passes. I love your vids and they made me put the Mach Loop on my bucket list.
THANK YOU for getting this and sharing it with the world SO COOL we have a local air show every year however this is even better,air show is in Ocean City Maryland, every year and it's COOL and they change it up each year, but this is the best area and I bet you can feel it when they go past 👍 again THANKING YOU for your efforts SO COOLL
Me Too, I love Airplanes , Photography and being outdoors. best of all worlds. Looking at a map it says it is in west central Wales, I may have to make time for my next UK visit looks like it might take two or three days to get there from London "wink wink" . I always try to stretch my time when I'm on business, I get my work done in two-three days and the rest is personal time which I pay for. I was stationed at RAF Woodbridge which had the A10 which closed many years ago, I miss that base and that Airplane, miss the UK always feel at home there. I see a visit to Wales in my future. I agree the Tornado is awesome planes and I hear the pilots call them "Tonka's" never heard that term before (I was reading up on them before I posted) Its sad to think of them being retired they were just coming into service about the same time I did in 1980. The Tornado has served with honour (yes I used that version on purpose) I wonder if the F35 will get the same "affection" that Tornado gets from its crews Most pilots love their jets anyway. My most surprising moment is when I found out that the Tornado has thrust reversers 😃. Great Photography. and definitely two 👍 👍 to that Canadian Pilot. Cheers from California.
Hey Elwyn, we chatted on the hill (our first visit) just the week after our wonderful RCAF CF-18 Demo visited the Loop. A few days after RIAT 2018, where it performed. Glad you liked it. Awesome video! Happy New Year from Canada!
Stunning stuff with pilots who are at he top of their game. Not forgetting the insane machinery they are piloting. That sunset at the end was worth the price of admission. Killer
You're correct, Snowdonia is an amazing place to live, it's beautiful.. I used to live in Bethesda but sadly the lack of work in the area made it hard to stay there, but I loved my years there and would move back in a heartbeat. It's a place I still often visit... Thanks for these brilliant uploads
It's so strange to view with the mountains and alltitude. It gives much more depth and feeling of things. That their actually moving in a 3D space. Watch from ground you kinda get that 2D feeling
I usento go berry picking when i was a kid in Perthshire everh morning west german pilots would fly into the valley whilst we all picking out berries sometimes they where low enough to wave back to you. Best memories off my life. I think the flew out raf fasilane.
as an American, The Tornado is an AMAZING jet, but like my F-4s that my dad flew, now the F-18s... The time to pass the torch. I'm excited about your new carrier!
@17ll3 x214 goto go in the ultimate war bird collection of game changers with a long service record for a fighter .I doubt any other aircraft had such a long history . Yeah sadly lost to technology in the end . Time for the new tech f35 to prove it's weight in battle ( not that you'd wish for a war to prove that )
Brings me back to the evening that Dessert Storm kicked off. Was at the King Fahd airport with the 101st ABN Div. It was a never ending line of fighters and tank killers screaming off down the runway and into the night. What an unbelievable fighting force! Still in awe just reliving it in my mind! God bless all that fight for freedom!
Great footage, thanks for posting. Served in Air Force for 9 years and love to see the low flying through the Mach loop. We live just north of Cardigan and occasionaly get some decent low flying displays from various fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. I was lucky enough to get quite a few low level outings in various rotary wing aircraft when stationed at Aldergrove and seeing the low level stuff on here brings it all back. We travel to England via Mach regularly and are lucky enough to catch site of the aircraft as they exit the loop. A memorable occasion happened as we were passing Corris in the valley, my four year old daughter casually remarked, "Thats low isn't it daddy!" and i looked out of the window to see a fat Albert on a starboard side bank almost on a level with us, no sound, she just snuck up and appeared. Must get the kids up on to the viewing hill this summer, how do you know the flying schedule or is it just sheer luck. Thanks and happy (vapour) trails.
@@ElwynR I am an aerospace engineer and private pilot supporting the fact the earth is flat and stationary. Education is indoctrination. Big bang, evolution, relativity, gravity theories are all lies designed to sell the fake spinning, moving globe to the masses. Hollywood is a great keyboard on which the government can play. It is also a mighty wand from which spells are broadcast. ‘Govern mental’ literally means ‘mind control.’ Universities kill diversity. Attitudes, behaviors, thoughts, mannerisms, memes are mass controlled through the broadcast. Simultaneous levels and layers of programming are being broadcast into the population telling them who to worship, inverting right and wrong, true and false, displacing reality to replace it with a virtual and alternate reality as far as the mind of the population can be manipulated, which is very far. People are extremely malleable. Children are even more impressionable. Einstein meant it when he said that imagination is more important than knowledge. He wanted for us to stay asleep in the imaginary, inverted world that they created for us; some call it the matrix, others call it the zeitgeist, this erroneous perception of our world and universe. Yet this perception is part of the collective consciousness that was put together through the broadcasting of spells. As long as whatever inhabits the mind of the population is imaginary and detached from reality then the controllers have nothing to fear as far their control system goes. From birth, the population is tuned in to the wavelengths the authors of the system (i.e. the authorities) broadcast from their Hollywood wands. As the RHCP once said, space may be the final frontier but it's made in Hollywood basement. Only by awareness of this manipulation can you resist the big inversion. They live, while we sleep. Food for thought. Bon apathy.
Yeah and the dislikes must just be jealousy because the planes are followed really well with the camera and there's some great planes shown in the compilation.
AMAZING videography! I know I'll never be able to afford to visit and see such sights so I appreciate being able to live vicariously through your videos. Thanks again!!
@@ElwynR If u are intreasted about Swedish military airplains you can visit the Swedish airforce museum in Linköping when u visiting Sweden. Just follow the link below. www.flygvapenmuseum.se/languages/engelska/
Always enjoy your videos Elwyn, very professional. My favourite has to be my Tornado with swept wings. I miss my flying days especially in the Mach loop. More please and have a great 2019.🛫🛬✈️🛩
Amazing collection! Still, cargo plane was my favorite part, as I've been _damaged_ by the massive impression "Air America" had on me as a teenager. XD
Elwyn R What an incredible video. Your quality along with the description of the planes is the best I’ve seen so far. It must be so cool too see this live. How often do the jets fly by and is there a certain time of the year where it happens more?
