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!

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.

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

@@superskullmaster I suspect you are 100% correct. I think at 40 miles the F-35 is calling "Fox 3" and the SU-27 pilot is thinking "Things are calm. This is a good time to use the piddle pack."

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.

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.

@Yoko_Grim

3 ай бұрын

Not to mention, how quick does your shutter open and close for it to VIBRATE your iPhone? Hm? Don’t know about you but I never noticed any vibration when using my camera.

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