MACH LOOP STAR WARS CANYON AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY 

Lived on a carrier for 4 years. NEVER got tired of watching flight ops, hearing the cat in im rack, and jet noise. Just amazing! Fortunate to have good leadership and brothers there too.

I could literally watch these videos all day long and not get bored with it

F-18, AC-130, a freaking Osprey... This is like a movie featuring legendary actors You've never seen together before!

You never cease to amaze me, I sit there watching your stuff with a big smile on my face!!

Truly stunning, thanks for sharing this with us. The GR-4 still make me smile

The shot l like is 1:22 with the boy's sitting on the tailgate hanging out. THAT is poster material!

What skills these pilots have ,what skills this photographer has . Thank you .

Oh snap! What a shot of the F-35 with the afterburners! That's a keeper...wall size prints! The vista of the "Star Wars Canyon" are spectacular! The depth is stunning! The Typhon is Badass! I love the whistling of the A-10 as it fly's overhead! Thanks Guys and Girls!

Brilliant and thank you. Love the sound of the A10, nothing quite like it. 😉

Love that sound the engines on the A10's make

There’s nothing better than the sound of a military jet or helicopter flying over your ranch! Love it🇺🇸

At 34 watching these still gives me Goose bumps! Amazing! Wish I was a fighter pilot, almost more than anything in the world.

2:52 FLT LT A Mallery-Blythe cool as you like taking in the sights and photographers whilst hammering along through Mach loop Love the drop in/out style for giving the camera settings

F18's saved my ass a few times in Iraq, show of force alone can put the fear of God into enemy combatants, F-22 Raptor is my favorite though, excellent footage, amazing!

Love the Howling Typhoon. The guys in the back of the C130, just chilling. 👍👍👍😎😎😎

All I can say is incredible photography. Truly wonderful stuff, i remember my times flying the loop with fondness. Great to see it from outside the cockpit of my Tornado. Wow!

brttt..brtttt..brttt that dslr sound is killing me..the image result is stunning..thanks.for shsring this image setup.

Loving the new style, settings info on those stunning shots is also a welcome addition, looking forward to your next video!

7:59 back sit pilot goes "Rock & Roll BABY!!!" - awesome shot!

Unmistakable sound of the A-10! Gotta love it!

Absolutely stunning photography and flying. Thanks for putting these together.

I live next to an Air Force base, and there are drills going on almost every week. its so cool that there the planes pass by REALLY close. amazing how u took the vid.

Nice flying and GREAT photos! Very decent of you to document the Mach loop. Thank you. Many years ago flew it at a crappy110kts BUT at 50ft, not 450. Instructor in back to make sure we did not hurt ourselves. Super fun! CAVU skies to aviator enthousiasts.

I could watch this all day. Epic shots as always. Thank you for sharing 👌❤

Absolument magnifique! Quelle qualité d'images! Félicitation! Réellement spectaculaire et très intéressant! Merci

Thanks for sharing. Never gets old. At 8:00, the back seater giving horns up was awesome. Thanks for sharing the still shooting specs too. Keep em coming. Semper Fi

This is why you guys are number 1 . The best of the best . You save our lives . God. Bless .

As a not good photographer, these still photos practically bring a tear to my eye. Thank you so much for this channel.

I definitely feel that Pilots should start commenting on here, I know you guys and girls watch RU-vid and you can't deny that the videos and pictures are fantastic.

I love how those jets sound like they're ripping the air apart! and the crew peeking out the back of the C-130 was a laugh :P

I keep coming back. Your photography and videos are absolutely stunning. Every one gives me goosebumps. I can’t imagine being there but I’m sure it’s an amazing experience every time. Thanks for sharing!

Another great video! The editing was amazing and the still shots of the Jets were INSANE! Love it!

With his unique sound... A -10 The best friend of CAS

Amazing shots! 7:28 - My favorite.

Had an Osprey fly over me at Coos Bay Oregon ... what an odd plane to see in flight up close....... but really cool. Thanks for the super shots .

What I love is the pilots looking at you! And the guys hanging out the rear practically waving! Truly awesome shots!

I wood of guessed the shutter speeds to be faster, Thanks for showing that info for wannabe shutter bugs, Fantastic stills.

That A-10 was the coolest jet of em all👌🏽

Oh wow! The clarity of this video. Outstanding!

I believe this is my favorite canyon video. Thank you!!

When you can clearly see the shoe laces of the pilot that's a truly stunning photograph. Well done.

Slightly choked-up. Beaitiful.

Words?! To describe?! "AMAIZING........!" Man the sound, the shots it's a great job even my wife who doesn't like military planes was impress.........! 🙂

Nice! I grew up on west coast of Vancouver island in Tahsis it was at the head of a inlet that became a valley which cut across the island. Comox air base is on east side. In the 70's the jet's used the inlet as a flight path to do bomb runs on the mill ect. One day l was on a pier about 12 feet above ocean about to jump when l heard a low roar,turned my head an a jet at my height was headed straight at me (there was a tin shed behind me) on a run all l could see was a canopy with wings. He banked slightly and went by at eye level about 50 feet away head turned looking at me. Then pulled up hit the burners and climbed out of sight. Your pictures are as clear as that memory is in my head. Unfortunately a few years later a meddling house wife called the base because her house shook,move out of town lady,and that was the end of air show's. Bitch.

What an absolute tour de force.

If they were'nt wearing visors you could certainly see the whites of the pilots eyes! Incredible images Dafydd....

Every time I get a notification that you put up another video I know im in for another great ride. Im with Krichek on the A-10 and Osprey's. 3 Ospreys flew over my house at about 300 feet leaving a airshow here in AZ last week. Boy all of us cannot thank you enough for sharing your passion of aircraft and photography . A book of stiils would be the topping on the cake for all of your fans. Hint Hint!

These are amazing thank you to everyone involved and thanks for sharing with the world.

BEAUTIFUL. JUST BEAUTIFUL!!

Truly breathtaking shots, you’ve really blessed us with this one

Absolutely spectacular!..well done!...what a great place to be!👍🏻👍🏻

After watching the F-35 you really get a good perspective about the tic-tac ufo and how mind blowing it is that it made higher g turns and speeds than the best we can come up with.I need to know what that thing was it keeps me up at night.

Intense action! I love your still shots, the quality is so great I can see the sheep mowing grass in the background haha.

This photography is incredible!

Amazing flying aircraft and photography. Thank you.

This is so badass! Jets are like the super sport bike crotch rockets in the sky! Lol...love it!

7:27 Super cool how he's looking right at the camera.

Love the sound of the A10

Love the segment of the F22. I used to work across the street from Dobbin ARB when they were doing flight tests of the F22 there in the mid 2000s. It was like a free air show two to three days a week for a few years.

Absolutely amazing!

Awesome! The pictures are phenoms! Makes me want to call up my high school photography teacher so he can give some more insight on my cameras capabilities.

Being far too old now to ever be considered for getting seat time outside of some crazy private venture, this channel is far and away the best place to come for getting that up close and personal feel, aside from whatever happens to be flying over the house. =) My continued thanks for doing what cha' do time and again!

That was the whole air force.. F-18 Hornet, awesome flyby F-15 Eagle!.. dam! Unique sound!!

Thank you. You are nearly as lucky as those amazing pilots

4:37 perfect 👍🏼

Aircrew taking a "rest"(?) @ 1:20 Looking at some of the stills, it looks like they're even looking at you taking the pics.

Awesome video and photos as always. Thanks for the camera and settings info, helps me plan for my own trip for Star Wars Canyon in the next year or two.

beautiful work. I will be finally going for the first time in my life this year, can't wait. Yahoo.

AWESOME THANK YOU, F-22 THE BEST EVER

4:38 and 7:30 are my favourite shots! Really really like your videos. Thank you for sharing!!

hey friend I swear you are the best photographer I've seen in my life you are number 1 bro compliments..🤙✌👍

Wow....that was insane! Great shots! Thank you!

Stunning ! It's still the A-10 that rocks my world.

OMG F-35 after burner at 0:35 is freaking dope!

It was 1984 and I was stationed at Taegu South Korea. There was a drill exercise. We ( the technicians and mechanics) were standing outside the squadron hangar. It was peaceful. We were chit chatting and getting ready for shift change when out of the blue, two F-4s in dog-fight mode came barreling down from the East. I'm telling you... it was silent and then all of a sudden our ears were on fire (SO LOUD). The aerial ballet those planes performed was incredible. We stood awe struck. But what caught my eye was this. When the planes first appeared there were some birds flying by. The sound of the F-4s was so loudly abrupt that the birds fell from the sky to the ground. They dropped like someone had popped them with a .22... I'll never forget that morning. Taegu AB, South Korea. I was 31.

In 2000-2001 I worked the Railroad Valley in Nevada. B-52's would enter the valley flying the Nap of the earth. It was spectacular to see this massive plane do this......

A palavra que resume o vídeo e as imagens é PERFEIÇÃO!

A once in a lifetime photo op, masterfully done! This is the video that got your channel another sub...

Fantastic work! Love to see these. Thank you!

Love that A10 pilot looking right back at you like it’s nothing

what amazing ,gorgeous, beautiful pictures takes my breath away 🥰😂

F-15 still beautiful.

Sheer pleasure to watch. Thanks to you and the pilots.

I could watch this all day long..!! Magnificent photos and roaring thunder sounding beauty for our ears, so once again: thanks so much for sharing this to us civilians. Cheers from Denmark

8:13 glorious Falcon

WOW, Absolutely fantastic Dafydd!!, thanks for adding the camera settings and info your videos and stills are a thing of beauty, I was hoping to get to the Mach Loop this year but have not yet made it. I'll deffo be making it a priority for next year.

It's awesome when they look at you!

Formidable.... et didactique... et simplement beau. Merci pour tout ce travail.

I bet these pilots and crew would love to have copies of these pics for their walls!

One of your best so far😎

From this video I've determined it's impossible to pick the best looking airplane cuz they're all awesome.

Quite simply the best aviation photography I've ever seen.

Прекрасные кадры!👍

This kind of stuff is on my bucket list....

That was spectacular footage...in my next life I'll be a jet pilot..god l love watching them... thank you from Aussie 😁

Thank you very much adding the names of the aircraft !! Absolutely brilliant footage !! This is one of my all-time favourite channels keep up the great work !! 🛩

that F22 is the epitome of a fighter jet!!!! that's it!!!

I wish there was some place in Australia 🇦🇺 you could get that vantage point. I’d love to be there it would be amazing 👍

Great images. This totally reminds me of a time I took a friend on a road trip to the middle of Nevada to check out ghost towns and sight see. One night we camped 20 miles from the only town for about 60 miles and ten miles from the nearest lonely paved road. I was awoken at the crack of dawn by jet engines screaming by. I figured we're in Nevada so just some military jets flying by, REALLY close for some reason, and tried to keep sleeping. Then they came back, and I figured I missed them. They came back again. I kept thinking that if I crawled out of bed they'd be gone. But they kept coming so I got up to two F-18's (I think) flying only 100-150 from the ground directly over our heads. We were camped at the mouth of a canyon where it meets a very broad sloping valley around 6K ft elevation. Up the canyon the mountains were 11K ft in only 5 miles. The two jets were playing chase up and down the canyon bending around a sharp turn up the canyon. Down the canyon they would suddenly go straight up several thousand feet over the valley and mach dogfight. Then they'd swoop down low and up the canyon at incredible speed and swoop around the bends of the canyon and do it again, and again. It was amazing. It still gives me goosebumps. I thought we would only see critters and enjoy total solitude that morning, but was treated to this spectacle. To be frank, it was much more awesome than what they're doing in this video. Later, I kept thinking we were going to be hounded by a ranger for not paying for the entertainment. But it was free. It still amazes me years later.

The best Mach loop videos and photos BY FAR!!
