Hi everyone, this video is a compilation of my low level Mach Loop best bits from this year. Thank you all for your support throughout the year. Very grateful to achieve 100,000 subscribers. Have a Great Christmas and New Year everyone. Look forward to bringing you more of the same content in 2024. Thanks Darren
That image was very nice, the special livery was for the 70th year of the Fighter Wing, for the F15 to be still going strong after 50 years, that in itself shows how awesome the aircraft is.
that F 35 at 1:25 was my favorite, just because of the pilot rolling it to the extremes! Close second on that group of Typhoons at the end, disappearing behind the mountain as they play follow the leader. Great stuff!
Cheers, thanks, the F35 pass was special, Ive got a nice photo of it set in acrylic on the wall in the house. Seeing the 4 Typhoons was also a special moment.
Wonderful video, thank you for what you do! My favorite was the business size jet trundling through with probably a general or two inside giggling with excitement!
3:18 and The Hurcules is my top pic. Perhaps not the top one for everyone, but as I ridden in one a couple of times and it was a piece of history, it gets my vote. One that isn't included, which would be a top pic, was the back seat giving you the Hawaiian wave. I'm not sure if he was one of those with the stuffed toy or not. Wasn't there a longer one with you in the sights of the helicopter? But asked to pic one, then that's my choice. Thank you for all you do for the channel. Being a hiker in the Peak District, I know how you feel each time you hike up to these elevations. So thank you for everything you do to bring this awesome footage to us and Merry Christmas to you and yours.🤶☃️🎄🎅
Thanks so much Chris, The Hercules photos I'll cherish, There wasn't many people who captured the 3 of them like I managed, quiet a few had 2 Hercules in the frame, but not 3. I took a lot of images this year which are worthy of going on the wall in the house, problem is, I'd have to spend so much money on getting them printed off and framed up. I bet flying around in one of them was special. Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to watch my video content, so glad to have some genuine subscribers, you being one of them. Hopefully I pay a few visits there next year to bring more content to the channel. Have a Merry Christmas from the Children and Myself.
Wow, awesome, obviously the RAF had their reasons to retire them, it was a sad day seeing going through there one last time, so glad I was there to witness and capture it.
What an incredible year for the Mach loop. So grateful for you sharing all of your hard work with us! I hate to choose a favorite so I'll go with the most impactful pass. That's gotta be the three HERCs making their way through. I'll never forget it. The typhoons were really something too! They come in second, but only by a hair! Thanks again for all of the amazing footage this year! Looking forward to see what happens in '24! Happy holidays to you and yours!
Thank you, it was an excellent year. The Herc pass was iconic, but sad too, knowing it was their farewell flypast through the Mach Loop. Thanks again for watching, have a great Christmas.
0:20 and 1:30 have got to be up there as the best passes on this compilation. How many visits this year Darren or have you lost count? 😂 Five visits for me and it has been a good year especially with the Return of the RAF Typhoons since the middle of the year and also the RAF Marham F-35b’s are starting to become regular visitors to the Welsh hills. Good stuff Darren, Merry Xmas and a happy new year - Here is to many more visits in 2024! 🍺🎅🏼🎄
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation I thought I’d get more in myself Darren. I need a job at that fellas place on the forums who’s posted he’s got 8 weeks holiday next year - any jobs going pal? lol 😂
Great video Darren the 3 RAF Hercules was really good to get them so close together but ever pass is very good. Sending you love from Dublin for all of you're videos😊
@@DarrenEdwardsAviation haha that is awesome and onwards 2024 and have A great year ahead Darren !!! Still a bucket list to go to Match Loop in future.😁😎
Thanks Steve, It's one of my favourites as I wasn't sure if a 4 ship of Typhoons had ever been through there before, before that, plus I'd messed up their first past, so was extremely happy to see them coming back around from Barmouth direction.
That would be incorrect. They have time to look at RU-vid videos, being ex Military at a blurred out face level, if U understand what l mean. We would get people trying to film us on operations an after everything died down we would ask the person if he had any good footage to send it to us. An we got 3 different videos of us doing certain things. Of course our faces are covered but we knew who was who. An our unit really enjoyed seeing ourselves, an reliving the Op. So l can virtually guarantee that they would Definitely like to see there flying through the Mach Loop. Especially in reference to Oww l could of done that a bit cleaner, or that was a bit lazy on the pull, that's a pilot term. So they would Definitely like to look at the footage.
The Gazelle was cool. Really impressed with the Typhoons. I haven't really gotten caught up in t F35 thing, but they look a lot more impressive flying than they do static.
Cheers, Scott, that image was very nice, only topped on the day by the images of the F15 going through the valley wiith the photographers in the foreground. I'm sure you've already watched that video of mine which includes those photos in it.
Yeah that Pass was special, I manged to capture it a few times during the slight over bank, currently it's the only image I've got up on the wall in the house.
I would like to purchase a Poster size picture of the F-15 @ time stamp 1:19. With the vortices coming off the wings. Would this be possible?? Always luved that fighter. An having a father in the Airforce l got to go to many Bases an see many different fighter jets up close. An being ex military myself l would Luv to Purchase this picture at 1:19 of the F-15. Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you Mr Edwards. Very much Hope to hear from you in the future.
Hi, thanks, awesome, I can imagine it was a busy life for you all. I'm not sure that one has been uploaded to my Shopify store yet, if you click on the link below I have a variety of products on there, depending on where you're form might affect the cost of posting products. darren-edwards-aviation.myshopify.com/collections/all?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&sort_by=created-descending Thanks Darren
I have been and probably will always be partial to F-18s, I dunno why. I also love all the other unique aircraft going through the loop, like the Apache. However, 15s dominate Mach Loop, in my opinion.
The F15E - at 2:29 (in full 50th anniversary livery!) is one awesome fly-by! The all-weather F15 strike-fighter is, IMHO, even MORE beautiful than the F18! It's serious war machine with one (and only ONE!) objective: 2 take U OUT! ⚔=⚰Wonderful... Peace, love and HEAVY ordinance!
