I always thought the F16 was the sport’s car of fighter jets, until the F35 came along, but the Falcon is still doing the job in huge numbers all over the world.

Quality Elwyn. The camera dropping is a nightmare for you, but adds something different to the video. It takes me back to when I arrived there one morning just as F15s were entering the loop, I stopped the car on a grass verge opposite the farm on the way up to Bwlch from Dinas, I had my phone on a phone holder recording out of the windscreen pointing up towards Spur turn, think yeah that's gonna look nice should they pas through, I jumps out of the car with my camera to take photos of them. Once they'd gone through I got back in the car to look at the video, phone wasn't in the holder it was camera face down on the floor, I completely forgot the holder was connected to my USB port charging it. Because I turned the engine off and took the keys out the phone holder automatically opened resulting in the phone falling out. I watched the video back with a black screen with the awesome sounds of a 4 ship of F15s completing 2 passes through there.

It is also a nightmare to fly, it has computers r performing micro adjustments during flight to ensure that it is going where the pilot wants it to go, cause boy is it unstable.

Great video. I'm 55 and it reminds me of when I got just as close to some in what was a total surprise to me and the Deer I was watching in Skull Valley Utah. Two of them came over us down on the deck went to the end of the Valley then streight up like rockets just before the mountain. We were in the Juniper woods so they didn't see us at that speed . Scared the Heck out of the Deer.. I loved seeing the Aircraft. I think the Deer had a different oppinion.😁

Excellent filming, it's great to see the jets flying low with the snow behind them. Where do you guys film from - I've yet too see any fast jets flying around Snowdonia.

Belgium has a great Air Force, sue in part with its very close association with the RAF during WW II, IMHO…
