That “Hi Mom” sign makes me laugh every time. I’d love to make it there someday and fly the Colorado flag. It’s where the Air Force Academy is. They would recognize it. We are very proud of it.

We love to see flags displayed in the cockpit. I’ve seen many university flags along with stars n strips and many more 👍

Now THIS is how we get out of the gate! Ripping, roaring, and running The Loop! May not have been a picture-perfect day, but you made it work AND got some great wing vortices and vapor clouds to boot! I really enjoyed this. Thank you for your efforts and this post.

With the F35, it’s not just wing fluff, it’s whole-jet fluff. Such an impressive airframe on so many levels.

The sound of the F-35 is so recognizable to because i grew up next to PAX river Maryland where they did the testing of the B and C and they flew over my house quite a bit. Must admit i kind of miss it. Great video, love the work keep it up 👍

Amazing shots and so dramatic, many thanks Dafydd... I remember having just topped out from climbing the Watkin Path on Snowdon in 2019, hearing a huge aircraft coming towards me from the North West. Looking up to see the magnificent Boeing C-17 Globe master. It was so low, a site i shall never forget.

2024 and Fat Amy has more new lipstick caked on. To each their own in this subjective world of avionics appreciation. Of the modern era planes I've encountered, I'm not taken aback with Amy as with others.

These are so Kool woW as I stated before beautiful pictures. Is this normal for over their? Maybe just maybe I can win the lottery and go see them. What's the odds? Yea.. Thank you for sharing these videos! By any chance is there a storyline about this area?

Its great to see the RAF F-35b's finally making more regular appearances at the loop. Thanks for filming them Dafydd. 👍

There is no busy day but keep an eye on the notams and this should give you an idea if they are using the airspace. It’s no guarantee but some patterns do emerge. Be prepared for long days with no planes and just enjoy the scenery. Good luck! ✈️👍🤞

Hey Dafydd, amazing footage! Just wondering how you know what days the jets will be flying? I saw the UK gov has an RAF training timetable online but apparently it can’t really be relied upon with weather etc. Looking to head up to central Wales sometime in summer. Many thanks

@DafyddPhillips

Thanks Sophie, it’s just case of ignoring the timetable and just turn up. It may help to keep An eye on the notams from the beginning of the week and keep an eye on any patterns that occur. Some squadrons may concentrate on low level for any given periods. Just hope they come to wales instead of the Lake District or Scotland. ✈️✈️🙏
