Incredible footage. I spent most of my childhood in North Wales hearing these beauties flying overhead every single day whilst at school and college. Conveniently lunch time on the playground was always like a beautiful thunderstorm rolling by. Absolutely love the sound of the F-15s. When we lived in Morfa Bychan right on the coast, I remember one morning I woke up to the whole house shaking. They flew something absolutely massive REALLY low. Wouldnt surprise me if it was one of these at 4:52 but what a feeling that left on me. I wanted more than anything to serve as a pilot in the RAF when I was younger (my eyesight is unfortunately poor) after having the pleasure to watch and hear these fantastic pilots and gorgeous aircraft for nearly ten years every day.

Love watching this video it’s so good!...& the last shot is perfect the sound the positioning the aircraft & that sunset!..... perfect 👌

One of my many reason's I join the the US Air Force back in 1979 is that I love watching combat aircraft. Love the sound they make. And I even got a chance to go TDY a few times to Edwards AFB, California and hear and feel those sonic boom's. Watched two Space Shuttle landings. And even better, The open house / Air show's I got to see at a lot of other Air Force bases. Now Retired, I live north west of Buckeye, Arizona and I can watch F-16 and F-35's fly by my home from Luke AFB every day. Love your videos, The sound , The pitchers. The sound of Freedom.

I’m just gonna say it. The scenery of the Mach Loop is every bit as cool as these aircraft.

Its’s North Wales, in the UK. I live about 40 mins away from here.

F15 is the most beautiful aircraft ever.

I could watch theses aircraft all day everyday..they are awsome

Sweet - and such a beautiful landscape...Thanx!

👍 Nice video! The sight of these modern aircraft flying through those ancient hills and valleys is stunning.

I was a Marine platoon commander in Vietnam in 1969. Marine, Navy, and Air Force fighters saved our ass more than once and kept the enemy's heads down during our attacks. I will forever be thankful for them and I get choked up seeing them fly today 51 years later.

I live on the prom of Jersey River and these up river all time. Never fails to give me goosebumps. Thank for great videos Elwyn. Love Wales 👍

Seeing the C-130 flying the mach loop reminded me of the time after I retired from the Marine Corps that I was an independent consultant supporting DARPA technology programs for US special operations. I was tasked to train SOCEUR on a new software planning application. To test the software, I was invited on a SOCEUR exercise to both observe how the new planning sofrware worked but also to be the technical support to fix or work around any problems. It was a no notice exercise so I was in Germany for a few days before the execute order was given. We left Stuttgart airport in the late afternoon an flew in special forces Combat Talon C-130's at near tree top level to an abandon Soviet air base in Romania. I don't need to go into the exercise itself, but it was a complex hostage rescue operation from two locations simultaneously. Very realistic. I was the only tech guy on the exercise so I had to support both the day and night shifts. I got almost no sleep for 10 days. I was exhausted. When we arrived back at Stuttgart, I check into a hotel and decided to take a hot bath with a beer from the minibar. The next afternoon I woke up in the bathtub, there was full bottle of beer on the edge of the tub, it was obvious that the maid had been there, cleaned the bathroom and made the bed. I often wonder what the maid thought when she walked into the bathroom and saw a shriveled up body in a tub of cold water with an full beer on the edge of the tub. Oh, and I missed my flight back to the US. I had and I'm still having a great time in life. At 74 I've slowed down a bit, but have so many more unusual stories to remember. I had a pretty wild ride in life and I loved every minute. I am so thankful that I didn't have a real desk job. Yes, there were times in the Marine Corps and after I retired from the Marines that I had some time behind a desk, but the majority of my time in the Marines and after I retired was in the field. The greatest honor in my life is to have led Marines, especially in combat. After i retired from the Marines, I supported special operations forces and national mission forces for another 26 years before I retired permanently. The main reason I retired permanently on Dec 31, 2015 is because the travel requirements were getting to be to much. In the last half of 2015, I was on the road 23 out of the previous 25 weeks. On 31 Dec 2015, I decided to hang up my shootin' irons and live out the rest of my life in peace. I live in Florida. I have a nice house and beautiful yard. The winters are very mild. Everything is green and blooming year round. I enjoy lunches on the bay/beach at my favorite cafes eating crab boil shrimp and a glass of white wine. I smoke ribs and everything else in my backyard. I cook great Chinese, Spanish, Mexican, German, and other dishes. I love cooking. Perhaps because it's such a difference from the carnage of combat. I don't know. All I know is that cooking, smoking, and grilling are very relaxing and enjoyable compared to my previous life. However, I do watch my calories. At 74 I'm still the same weight as I was when I was a captain in the Marines. It's not all in the same place, but that's pretty good for being 74.

This is the most wicked video series of the World Renowonded Mach Loop. Thanks to everyone who takes these incredible video and shots especially. Great eyes and particularly the follow of these planes. BRAVO
