Low Level Military Flying - Star Wars Canyon, California USA 

The C-130 flying the Star Wars Canyon at 1:55 remind me of the C-130s I've ridden in flying at treetop level, banking knife edge to turn sharp enough to follow the bends on the Amazon River in Columbia in the 1980s. They were full of passengers and cargo from U.S. radar sites in South America. We would all get sick in the back, but the aircrew had a LOT of fun doing it. The aircrews told us it was required training. Yeah, sure!

Always love seeing the Harrier fly fast and low. We had 5 squadrons of them where I was stationed in the Marine Corps. MCAS Cherry Point, NC. Good times...

there’s something about seeing an eagle flying by and seeing planes meant to replace it but aren’t on its level flying behind it

What a scenario! I love military planes. Beautiful record 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Did they open this back up for low passes?? I went here in 2020 and a rangers said it was closed since the accident where that navy pilot slammed into the canyon wall.

They should have just named it Beggar's Canyon every Star Wars fan will know. ☺

If the Mach Loop looks like a place of legend and lore, Star Wars Canyon looks like a place of ancient Earth history and possibly dinosaurs. I kind of expect to see a 2-ship pterosaurs.

Absolutely epic video, stunning shots man!

I spent Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs out there watching and didn't see anything. After awhile the crows flying got me all excited. Congratulations getting it on film. You need to buy a lotto ticket!

Amazing video. 📹👌 Thumbs up! 👍😊 Like 39 👌 Congrats from Argentina. 👋👋😀😊

I've gone hiking cross country below star wars canyon for a different view. I only remember seeing many rattle snakes.

Love the long shot of the 130

I thought there was crash which meant planes couldn't fly through anymore. Has this changed?

Amazing video!! I wish I was there!

Skip to 4:27 for the F-35 and hear the P&W F-135 engine growl it’s deathcore song. Edit : The F-35 dropping in low @ 6:00 is epic footage.

Death Valley looks scary

heading out to Star Wars Canyon in a few weeks. Any particular times I should shoot for or any other recommendations ?

Really great footage! What it must feel like to fly one of those through there chasing your buddy. Unreal! Have they stopped flying here? I’ve read some conflicting things on this spot. Thanks for sharing!

Good quality video work. Thumbs Up! It will be interesting to see if Star Wars Canyon ever comes back to the kind of flying it was known for. Curious to learn what camera you used.

Nice video, that’s a location that is definitely on my bucket list!

Thank you. Good variety of aircraft and manoeuvres.

Is there a schedule for when they fly in 2023?

Have they started flying through there again yet?

Raptor!

So are these current videos? Are they flying in starwars canyon again?

Outstanding Subd😊

Watch the video at 1.5 speeds. It's better.

Love this! What video recorder were you using?

whats the drive to this location like?

Top gun vibes

That’s a Harior!! Mk. 8

Nice video, my friend

It takes a lot of guts to take a transport plane into that canyon over a fighter since the aircraft has the turn radius of a pig.in flight.

Wonderful video like and subscribed from Czech Republic

superb video mate

Beautiful video!✈✈✈💙💙💙💙👍👍👍🎥😎

gorgeous action!

WOW super cool video!!

Just Awesome mate big like from me!

Sorry to see its closed where do they fly now?

I thought they stopped doing this a couple years ago after the crash. How long ago was this video taken?

Was by there 4-10-2021

Tues I was there 8 to 10 and came back around 3:30. What time were you able to get the picks?

C-130 came through!

Really nice.

was this recorded recently

Are there event days in which you know the planes will be flying? Or do you just have to show up and hope?

Maverick did this in under 20 parsecs

I'm headed out there next week. Do they fly on the weekends?

is the jets still flying in 2023 ?

What a shame, no more flights. The Brits are getting more intense training at Mach Loop. Our guys will become the most risk adverse of all the pilots in the skys. I hope they don't loose their edge. Don't forget practice makes perfect.

They can't get away from the hypersonic missile that Russa has.

When was this recorded?

hooray they are flying the canyon again! ?or is this old footage?

We still fly Harriers?

One stupid crash ruined it for everyone!

I’ve watched quite a lot of your shorts so far to see the quality, and bro, this is the most obvious fake. There’s another one posted sooner after this one of a C-17 that also gives it away. What software you’re using, I’m not sure, I’m assuming DCS or Microsoft Flight Sim, but I know 100% this is not real life. Don’t bother replying “ur armchair expert this is real life I have proof” you don’t have proof. If you actually watched footage of the canyon flights, there’s a lot of things that make it real, and you’re not doing any of it. The sounds of nature like wind, other photographers being in that spot taking pictures, like come on dude, you’re using clearly fake camera shutter noises speaking that you told someone else you were using a modern iPhone, and the near-consistent sound of the jet the entire way through makes it obvious. I’ve seen actual jets fly by, you haven’t.

Nobody wants to see the planes for 5 minutes after they pass, complete waste of time. Otherwise cool!
