Insane USAF F35’s - Low level flying in Thirlmere Lake District-Cumbria-closest view👍🏻

Four USAF F35 Lightning Stealth Fighters making three passes round Thirlmere in Cumbria 18-01-23

[@dmack1827]

What a backdrop. Stunning.

[@python3574]

Love the way the F-35 sounds like it's literally ripping the air apart.

[@Brian-om2hh]

It's the sound of freedom and democracy....

[@corrindion]

What a beautiful fighter! Thanks!

[@beemerchef27]

My 14 yr old son built an F-16 cockpit/flight simulator out of plywood. Has switches, lights, joystick, throttle, foot pedals....just awesome. His dream is to fly either F-16s , F-35s, or Hornets. Godspeed to him living out his dream.

[@northernhardcore.7899]

Excellent footage! Well done!

[@adriaanboogaard8571]

I love to watch them and at the same time want to be flying one. I can't go do either ware you are but I can go see them fly with my Nefew here he's been in the Air force. Thanks for the great video. It's time to take his kids out to Hill and see the Aircraft museum and hopefully something moving fast

[@333crypta]

[@corrindion]

Fantastic!

[@Kelly-tt1sx]

[@ianbeck6270]

Beautiful location to be at for those wonderful out of this world filming.. amazing..well done you lucky bugger

[@LeeCummings]

Thank you Ian 👍🏻

[@BlackOps-Ent]

That was bad ass. I would have fallen off the cliff (taking pictures).

[@1dashcamboatsandcars]

Great video

[@adsoutdoors]

Nicley done that first one 👍👍👍

[@paulpark1170]

Man those F35s are LOUD!

[@KidCorporate]

Still the bet way we know how to say "go f*ck yourself, Putin."

[@dmutant2635]

Nice stuff Lee. I went to Google Earth but I couldn't locate your viewpoint with any authority. I'm thinking you were on the western side, middle of the lake, as they flew northerly??? Beautiful countryside! B&Bs and cattle farms....

[@LeeCummings]

Smaithwaite above the Dam 👍🏻

[@TheBIGLOUBRUNO]

Fantastic video Subscribed

[@briancooper562]

I think WW2 Lancaster ',Dam busters' where lower but lucky to be going only a third of the speed of these aircraft.

[@ExploringJeeps]

How did you train the mountain goat to take photos? Best viewpoint ever!

[@IanDavidBrown]

Amazing, thanks for sharing. I bet you were shaking with joy! The light was amazing and I bet you got some fantastic images. I have been many times to the Lakes and the Mach Loop and yet to see an F35 orF15. I hope 2023 may be more rewarding.

[@LeeCummings]

Yes it was one incredible day, one I think will be difficult to top. I still am working through the images to this day 👍🏻

[@miger1824]

Assuming they stayed in the same order for each pass, the lead is throwing his F-35 around much more than the guy at the rear!

[@SCOTTMCKAY1982]

Great footage...i atcually thought that was the American version of the Mach loop cause i didnt really read the title fully lol...great video tho and like your 1st comment that 1st pass was a PEACH!...well done! ;)

[@CERDIP]

Flight Lead: "I'm KOTM! Boomalacka!" #2: "Jeez it's hard to follow this guy" Element Lead: "I'ma keep it tidy. Can't bust my upgrade!" #4: "Nobody cares about me, just gotta keep up!"

[@LeeCummings]

😂 Yes Three times round 👍🏻

[@Hussain.ali787]

Amazing capture! What is the name of that viewing point ?

[@tangatoto362]

What exactly was the thrill of these planes going past… was their sound part of it ? And…the infernal fast frame camera noise wasn’t at odds with this ?

[@tikkathreebarrels]

Lovely video but if you're recording video how come you've got shutter sounds in there?

[@LeeCummings]

Because the phone I was using to film was mounted on the flash mount of my dslr camera

[@mrwest5552]

to the membrane.

[@Brian-om2hh]

The next one who asks "can I fly my drone in the Lake District" ought to watch this video......

[@antigonish63]

What's that at the end of the wings? I thought these birds flew clean.

[@dmutant2635]

Missile rails. They have pylons and racks for underwing stores when desired.

[@paulpark1170]

The first one was a dandy…seems to almost take you off your feet!!

[@SCOTTMCKAY1982]

Was LOVELY right! ;)

[@LeeCummings]

Yes, I decided to stand up as I wasn’t expecting that 🙂👍🏻

[@danielcargill8019]

The Lakes district is beautiful, watching from Massachusetts. Is their a lot of USAF in Britain. They must train with British???

[@dmutant2635]

USAF has a big contingent of aircraft at Lakenheath and elsewhere. Check out the Mach Loop videos...

[@pauldurkee4764]

I believe there are currently five USAF bases in the UK.

[@sparkymark68]

Where you on Ravens Crag?

Thirlmere

[@tomekkuzma]

is piloting F35 the coolest job in the world or what

[@leonardgibbins7726]

Too noisy. Your camera does not have to compete with the planes.

[@LeeCummings]

Sorry my camera is too loud mate, the video is just secondary in case the images don’t turn out.

[@Dave_Br]

shame about that irritating clicking noise, was somebody typing up there

[@lowellcalavera6045]

That's how we'll get to Moscow.

[@sequoiasemperviren3163]

Send the F35s into Ukraine and the war would be over in a week.

[@paulmca8514]

Insane means mentally ill, nothing to do with flying. Also all these photgraphers using machine gun mode is pathetic, just shoot a video instead if you can`t use a DSLR properly. That`s all part of the challenge shooting fast jets, taking maybe 4 or 5 shots per pass, rather than 300 or more and hope you get a good one-anyone can do that.

[@LeeCummings]

Sorry Paul, I only got my first ever camera just after Xmas.

[@Brian-om2hh]

No matter how many shots he takes, it's not costing you anything..... You may stir your cup of tea 8 times prior to drinking it, but it doesn't mean we all ought to.

[@simoncrewe5625]

Awesome

[@garywalling4341]

STOP LOW FLYING IN MY (AND MY ANCESTORS') HOME!
