1st Mach Loop run-bys of '25!
I know that there is a large fan-base here for looking DOWN on fast - and slow - military aircraft - RAF and USAF, and the occasional other NATO aircraft, too. I've posted Youtube movies from the low-level training area here in Mid-Wales, not far from the busy farming town of Machynlleth - hence the title of Mach Loop. Get ready to look DOWN into the cockpits of passing F-15s from a base not far from our home here in rural Cambridgeshire!

I've seen these from time to time but I don't recall seeing such nice still images.
Greek god of war on an F-15. Love it.

Always fun to see the Mach Loop passes. Agree that the stills are a great addition to this video.

I don’t care what anyone says, the C-130 is beautiful.

Beautiful still shots. They would make for great calendar pictures.

There's a handful of unique aviation-spotting hot spots in the world, Mach Loop is one of those special places.
Most of the videos posted are during warmer parts of the year, with the snow on the ground it gives the visual treat a whole new dimension.

Thanks for posting tac!
