MACH LOOP JETS WITH SPECIAL GUESTS 4K

waouh fantastic mirage 2000 .... 🤩😍

[@robguyatt9602]

How wonderful to see the Mirages. I miss the days when I could be close to the airbase runway watching the RAAF Mirages taking off, landing and touch and goes.

[@pkspidermonkey]

I did that a lot as a kid in Townsville :)

[@Phloggah]

You mean RAF right? Not RAAF or is that something different

[@robguyatt9602]

@@Phloggah Yes it is something different. Royal Australian Air Force.

Whoa, those Mirages were shaving the weeds nicely for visitors. Really great to see the French Air Force dropping by. Fantastic filming, always a pleasure to watch.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks Alan.

[@Steve_Hayden]

@@DafyddPhillips What's your favorite plane that you've filmed? If you could fly in anyone of them, what would be your first choice?

[@DafyddPhillips]

@@Steve_Hayden I once captured a NASA 15D flying through Star Wars canyon. The history of that aircraft would make a great movie in itself. F15s for me are the most photogenic plane ever built. In 2022 it upstages everything in our time. Imagine it back in the early 1970s !!

[@Steve_Hayden]

@@DafyddPhillips Yes sir, that's one of my absolute favorites. And the fact it's never been beaten in a air to air fight (105-0) says a lot. In New to your channel. Is it called both the Star Wars canyon AND the Mach loop ?

[@Steve_Hayden]

@@DafyddPhillips wait a minute. Are you talking about the F-15D with the canards behind the cockpit? I'm going through your viddies. I see a lot of F-15s in them. Do you know which viddie has that picture?

2:41 Mirage 2000D (all-weather air-to-ground assault version) The yellow circle around the French roundels is a tribute to the British who had this circle around their roundel during the Second World War. This yellow border made its appearance on the french planes in 1942 (Free French fighter aircrafts in North Africa), and was finally adopted in 1945.

[@trevorhart545]

Thank you for explaining the "yellow" since it is so important to understand history. Just a pity that De Gaulle was so anti-British. However the shots of the Mirages were great.

[@didierpaya9069]

@@trevorhart545 De Gaulle was not anti-british, he worked for France and his empire like Churchill worked for Great Britain and his empire (Chrurchill was made "Compagnon de la Liberation" by de Gaulle). De Gaulle was in in open conflict whith USA.

[@JoeJohn777]

Where did you see a yellow roundel?!

[@calvacoca]

@@JoeJohn777 It rather thin. But choose the 4k resolution, and you'll see it better. At 3:09 for example.

[@manuellangius2896]

Its about time that Nations in Europe will create a new powerfull defense on Sea, Air and Land and standarize their equipment. That means for example the Dutch navy buys frigates type 26 or 31, and the brits order radar systems for their navy at Thales Netherlands. Germany orders army vehicles in France and the French buy German artillery and so on...The warfactories can stay in their own country then...everybody happy....just an idea😉

[@Pincer88]

@@bearcatracing007 Agreed, Buccaneers have achieved pretty impressive exploits at low level and if I remember correctly without terrain following radar. So all the more admirable on the part of the pilots and navigators. But still... Having seen Tornados dropping ordnance at the exact moment at the intended target with pinpoint precision (long before guided weapons and targeting pods were prominent) back in the 1980ies has made a long lasting impression. So forgive my slight bias towards the Tornado. :D

NAN! M2000 is the GOAT

[@gbphil]

There was a Mirage that did the Cosford show around the millennium, the display was amazing. That show was a so special, possibly an anniversary one with Cosford not shining so bright since. I think there was a Raffale and either Viggen or Grippen making about 6 fast jet displays that day and the embarrassment of the RAF casually cruising by in Tornado at differing wing setbacks like a Cadillac at a Hot Rod meet.

[@timmiller7589]

Dafydd, once again incredible footage of some great aircraft, the F-15’s from Lakenheath being my fav! You seem to always have the perfect shots of these planes. Thank you, sir, for sharing with us military aviation buffs not able to see in person the action from the MACH LOOP in beautiful Wales!!!👍 Also, THANKFUL for these aircrews and their skills🙏. A shout out to the ground support staff that keep the jets ready!!!

[@vincentphan5097]

3:10 Absolutely stunning camera work man. The Mirage 2000 is one of my favourite jets now.

[@lenfirewood4089]

The Mirages demonstrate that in many ways the French made better use of the Fairey Delta project than our own government - having said that there are good reasons to believe the Anglo-French Concord project derived the snoop nose of Fairey Delta 2 to help improve visibility esp when landing. I don't know if the Fairey Delta performance data was used in design of the Concords delta wings but both ironically it is most liekly the French that had the most valuable data on this due to an agreement with Fairey and Dassault to share ttewsting data after our British government pretty much banned supersonic testing over British soil. It is nonetheless seeing the excellent use of the F. Delta testing data put to such good use as the French Mirage project benefited substantially from the collab. and it shows 😁

[@Pincer88]

Yet another gem! Looks like the Mirage crews made it special for you all out there. Still a magnificent machine to behold.

[@zcomme]

People might think that, with the sheer number of F-15 aircraft that have been through the Mach Loop, we would see them as the "Ford Mondeo" of the Loop but, for me personally..... and I'm sure every other Avgeek..... seeing an F-15 twist and turn through the Loop is as exciting now as it was when I first saw the Eagle go through, its never lost its appeal.

2:59, Just after this time stamp, there is a Mirage I think with colored tanks on it (green on the left and red on the right). That looks like the colors were mounted backwards from normal, because all the aircraft that have the navigation lights visible hav red on the left and green on the right. It’s aviation standard for the lights to be red left and green right. With the paint scheme mimicking the light scheme, it looks like someone made a mistake, unless there’s a reason I’m not aware of.
