Hi Nathan. It’s awesome on the new flight sim. Almost as good as the real thing, and less turbulence. Message me on [email protected] and I can send you the full route map and flight plan. We departed my home base of RAF Valley on Anglesey, Runway 19.

Awesome, thanks.

What a great comment, thanks so much Ian.

Thanks, it was incredible.

So glad you enjoyed my video and that it brought some amazing memories. I grew up in fort William and watched many many aircraft fly down the great Glen. Every one of them was a special moment but by far the best was seeing ‘the mighty fin’ of the tornado screaming low level through the Glen with its tail on ‘fire’, wings tucked back. Flying through Glencoe was an absolute dream come true. Thanks for your feedback and positive comment.

F16's 50 years ago, wow you can travel in time Ian ;-)

It truly is the most beautiful place to fly...but I would say that as I’m from there. Thanks for your brilliantly positive comment. I’m delighted you enjoyed it too Gary.

Yep, that’s fair enough. It’s not to everyone’s taste. Sorry if it spoilt the video for you.

@@thelivster1 it's fine just like hearing the jet that's all great video nonetheless appreciate the reply.

Well not these machines exactly. These machines are training machines. I just happen to like that music and think it goes well with the footage. I can’t please everyone unfortunately.

thelivster1 Haha ok, fair enough. Just a bit of a cliché though.

Jet noise is good,

Davie Kerr absolutely. I didn’t have the tech at the time so it was just a hand held ‘point & press’ camera as I’m sure you spotted in the cockpit mirrors from time to time. I’ve tried stabilising in video editors but it really doesn’t improve the experience for me.

Thanks for your interest and feedback Davie.

@@thelivster1 No probs: I live overlooking Corran Ferry just south of Fort William, so I'm familiar with a lot of the scenes you show. I remember taking my kids for a scramble up the side of Glencoe many years ago, and sitting on the ridge above Ossian's Cave looking DOWN at RAF jets flying past!

Davie Kerr that’s fantastic. I was born in Fort William in ‘72, grew up in Caol and eventually left Inverlochy in ‘99 to join the RAF. In the 80’s and 90’s it used to be a highlight to cross Corran Narrows and drive round the loch back to Caol. It had been a lifelong dream to fly that route in a fast jet.

@@thelivster1 I was actually born in Glasgow (shhh!), but spent most of my single-figure childhood years in Kingairloch where my dad was the Head Forester 1948-1955. We then moved to Angus, I joined the Dundee Police in '63, and then went to the Bermuda Police on a 3-year contract in '66 which lasted for 34 years!

I agree. I hope you at least enjoyed what I did with what I was limited to using Windows Movie Maker at the time? I should maybe have another go with better editing software.

The timing for the audio would be blown if you sped it up but also there’s a hell of a lot of detail to take in and it takes time to look at what all the stormtroopers are up to in each shot. But I’m glad you spared us some of your evidently precious time to comment. Thanks for watching Flipflops Guy. 👍👌

Rob Gordon All in it was around 1hr 45mins. It took 8 mins to get from valley to prestwick. Fantastic training trip which took me over my home town.

Ned Hedrick thank you. I have experimented with various sounds. Adding external etc. The in-cockpit sound wasn’t really that exciting so I went with some tunes that I liked. I appreciate it’s not to everyone’s taste. Glad you enjoyed it. It was an incredible flight.

I don’t know Funky Squirrel? I’m interested to know what kind of Moron would do that? Luckily in this movie I layered cool tracks over the top of some cockpit ‘wind rush’ noise. You can’t actually hear the jet engine from the cockpit, but I’m sure you know this as you sound like an expert who does this all the time. Thanks for watching and for your interesting comment Mr Squirrel.

musicmarc Wells I am not a ‘stupid idiot’. I Love nature and wildlife more than anything in the world. I also love people. These training missions are essential for our fast jet pilots to use their “ugly killing machines” to protect our fellow beings , not to “satisfy their over inflated egos”. I am actually a search and rescue helicopter crewman. I have been involved in 385 rescue missions and have helped rescue over 300 people in my time. I’m kinda proud of that. What are you proud of musicmarc?

thelivster1 If you can't do it yourself, let the experts do it for you! Thanks mate. Thanks for the great work you do too. I'm a nature lover with 5 decades of experience looking at birds, animals, trees and plants and I'll say this. I appreciate the people who defend our freedom. Cheers heilan man from an Edinburgher!

You’re welcome, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the positive feedback.

PorkBird 500ft and above over any domestic site or built up area, otherwise as low as you like. But there is normally a minimum separation height of 250ft.

thelivster1 ok thanks for the reply was really curious as i was at the glenfinnan bridge and as the steam train went over 5 jets went over above and wondered what height because it looked low! :)

500ft LOL in caol they definitely fly lower than that.

Adrian Rowan As soon as I am back in the uk and can download the track, it will be done.

Adrian Rowan I love this track, great choice. Standby...

Adrian Rowan thanks pal, I'll have a listen to that and edit in? Cheers!

Adrian Rowan 😎😁 so glad you enjoyed it. Check out my unedited flight through Glencoe, "hawk flight from kingshouse hotel to balachulish". No music though, just cockpit sounds.

Adrian Rowan thanks Adrian. The musicians like it and have included ads to the video. Money makes the world go around I guess?

Peter Ashcroft Thank you for your comments Peter, it was a privilege to serve in the RAF and this was one of my highlights. Glad you enjoyed the video.

Ned Hedrick firstly thank you for taking the time to watch both videos and for your kind comments. I had a lot of complaints about the music on the longer video, so I removed it. Since then I've had so many requests to re-introduce the music, I have done just that. I personally like the tracks I've chosen for it, and they work well with the edit of the flight. I uploaded this unedited part of the same sortie, flying through Glencoe, without any music. I like hearing the cockpit sounds in this one. I hope you do too. It was truly a fantastic experience.
