This Has to be One of the BEST F35 Passes in the Mach Loop

For Me This Has to be One of the BEST F35 Passes in the Mach Loop, that I've experienced in person, These 5th generation fighter jets are so agile, they certainly get about the place a lot easier than a F15.
I'd be interested in your opinion of the F35 passes, would be great to here what you all think of it.

Hi everyone, Not sure if any of you are interested but I've put some images on Shopify if anyone would like to check them out. I've put a link below to my Shopify page. It doesn't always for some reason display my new listed items on the site, so best thing for you to do would be click on catalogue and sort by new to old listings, this will bring up my newest listings. I'm not sure about the price on the canvas and other framed images, maybe one day I'll be able to afford my own professional printer and maybe be able to offer the photos at a lower price. These canvas and framed images are aimed at the US market, as the shipping cost to the UK would be way way to expensive. darren-edwards-aviation.myshopify.com/products/fluffy-f-15e-strike-eagle-matte-canvas-stretched-0-75?variant=48060420620600

[@rikvermar7583]

i have always liked the F-35 because of it's looks, it's kind of like a baby Raptor, but now i not only see a beautifully crafted piece of military hardware - i see surely the most technically advanced fighter jet ever built and even today we are still learning of it's capabilities. Awesome video

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you for watching the video, epic aircraft.

[@YodaWasSith]

Its capabilities will not be fully understood until the design is declassified. Not likely in our lifetime. Keep in mind...this plane was flying in like 2006. It's a 20 year air frame already. There's a reason we didn't build a lot of them. Our technological capabilities then vs. now are just...incomparable.

[@MrTweaksTV]

my thoughts exactly. trough the years and the better and better quality of photos i've come to understand what an incredible piece of engineering the F35 is. I've always been a fan because i understood it's bigger picture concept but the more details we get from it ..the more astounding it becomes. The metallurgy in this machine ...just speechless

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Yeah It's a piece of art.

[@maryrafuse3851]

The F-35 capabilities will continue to expand over decades to come. Because it is the NATO fighter of choice investment is directly motivated by the needs of the NATO member states. It may look the same in decades to come but it will have been reinvented several times over.

[@rottenrick1969]

I love to see the mach looop in action. I taught in a school in the west desert of Utah where these F 35's practice a lot. Our school is very isolated with eleven students and the F 35 pilots often dive down on the school practicing bombing runs. It's amazing to see their noses pointed straight at you coming straight down on the school. Practicing or having a little fun giving us a show way out in the isolation of the desert makes an exciting day.

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Awesome place to be, maybe there is air base not for from the school.

[@todydn]

Dude i worked near buckley afb before it became a space force base homeowners where like ughhh does this happen alot when walking homes and i always thought as i was foing the baseboard what kind of boring ass person complains about getting to see the coolest technologies we have in action i loved working there forsure seeing f22s all day seen one do a straight verticle stall once then launch upwards like a rocket seeing that thing go from over 1000mph to almost a flat stop nose up then imediatly back to 1000 mph but upwards has stuck with me as one of if not the most impressive things ive ever seen

[@yalikejaz8107]

Reminds me of a story my dad told me one time: It was about 5 years ago, and he was at an nfl game in Boston. It was halftime, and for whatever reason, everyone was cheering and going crazy, even though there was no performers/anyone doing anything on the field. My dad was pretty confused, and all of the sudden there was a massive object overhead that blocked out the sun. He thought he was going to die, it didn't even look like it was from earth, just a massive black, silent object coming to rain death on those below. turns out, a it was a b2 stealth bomber doing a fly over.

[@fgpritchett64]

I love how the high wingloading creates the amazing wingtip vortices. This jet definitely is very nimble, fast, and maneuverable. I believe it has a published speed of 1.6 Mach but I’m sure it’s capable of much higher speeds if needed. It would just damage the stealth coatings. What’s great though is the amount of thrust this jet has. I’ve always loved the F-16 but this fighter is quickly becoming a new favorite of mine. Great video footage. I’d love the opportunity to see this in person someday. I had the opportunity to watch the F-35B a few years back and was completely blown away by the performance.

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you. Yes it's definitely growing on too.

[@kiwidiesel]

Mach 1.6 is the top speed. speed limit is a result of power available and airframe drag. 1.6 is pretty good for single engine top speed when you consider the twin engine variants of jets tend to top out at Mach 2.4 . I think the F 16 is similar in speed limits. Look what the blackbird needed for propulsion to get to Mach 3.5 The power required is exponential so twice the speed requires almost 4 times the power. The "stealth coating" isn't affected by speed, it's just paint and only really affected by temperature, which this jet can not go fast enough to worry about burning the paint off. The majority of the low radar cross section stuff being the material the jet is constructed of, carbon composites etc and the canopy is mirror tinted for similar anti radar properties.

[@pacimo2008]

As somebody who used to drive up to North Wales, and back, on the road running up the side of the valley I'm hugely impressed by their skill.

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Great video!

[@HalfWarrior]

@@DarrenEdwardsAviation Yes sir, it was awesome and a bit scary; as we could not hear or see them coming until they passed below us!

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Wow

[@fredross8182]

If they were flying that low, they were most likely Navy or Marine Corps jets out of China Lake. I worked in Boron and Ridgecrest for the Sheriff's Office for many years, and the flying style between the two services was much different, at least in the 70's and 80's when I was there. The Air Force pilots took off from Edwards at the prescribed angle, flew the prescribed distance off the end of the runway and then made the prescribed turn off the base. At China Lake NWC, the Navy and Marine Corps pilots would do a barrel roll off the end of the runway and then stand the jet on it's tail and go vertical. When patrolling the desert dirt roads, the Navy and Marine Corps pilots would sometimes try to "sneak up" on my patrol vehicle at sagebrush level. If I spotted them first and turned on my red lights, some would waggle their wings and turn on their landing lights to acknowledge being spotted. I saw some amazing skill at high speed in the desert......

I saw one of these leaving an air show last summer. A lone F-35 made quite a slow pass over the town in the morning and it just sounded like the air got ripped apart. I saw a Typhoon, a Gripen and a legacy Hornet during the show and none of them compare to the sound of an F-35. Sadly the F-35s weren't scheduled to fly at all during the show but at least I got to see a glimpse of one.

[@bikersoncall]

I'm not sure either emgee, but we don't know the exact speed of these planes, we don't know if they're going 690mph, or 800mph. At sea level, at benchmark barometric pressure, the speed is 741mph, some sources say 750+ mph, I think speed of sound is about 760. There is also a 'conical' vector whereby the sound is continuous, but not heard or directed everywhere, just where the geometry dictates.

[@rhensontollhouse]

Magnificent machines 👍🏻 Must be one of the most awesome jobs in the world to fly a jet fighter

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Couldn't agree more!

[@raymondclark1785]

Met a lot of rich Naval Aviators who joined the Navy because all of dad's money couldn't buy them a fighter jet, carrier and support crew :)

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

I bet yeah.

[@rikvermar7583]

if not the best job in the world, not only because of the machine - but those moments when you get asked "what do you do for a living"

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Yeah definitely.

[@kevinperree7764]

Amazing stills. Absolutely pin sharp. I dont know how you even get the plane in frame let alone shoot pics of that quality!

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you so much, it's never easy that's for sure.

[@brianloomis9351]

Great video. Absolutely stunning pictures!

Some badass photography Darren. Excellent stuff.

I get to work with this jet. It's really amazing.

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Very cool, awesome job to have.

thankyou for taking your time to provide us with such incredible shots...... and your ability to turn 99% of male viewers to mush 👍

MANY MANY THANKS this is an outstanding video.

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you so much.

[@Naessey]

Must be an incredible feeling flying through the mountains at that speed. Wow

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Yeah, it must be amazing.

[@redrooz]

Amazing how the stealth surface makes these aircraft seem like they spontaneously appear out of nowhere. Well captured. 👍

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you, I know I was struggling to see them for a bit when they were heading towards the valley.

[@karadan100]

Their engines also sound totally different to conventional jets.

[@Andrew-zx9wx]

Amazing video and stills, thank you for sharing!

@@DarrenEdwardsAviation yes indeed and especially the inverted maneuvers and condensation 😎👍

Slightly over banked, but pilot corrected it quiet quickly.

It was, thanks Douglas.

I'm pretty impressed with the dry stone wall up the other side of the valley and how steep it goes

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Epic, imagine the bricklayers reaction on the morning of the first day building it.

[@theuktoday4233]

absolutely incredible photographs

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you so much.

[@TheAmazingAdventuresOfMiles]

Brilliant stills Darren. I bet the pilots on the day would love a copy!

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you so much. I have no idea I'm afraid. They probably ain't allowed to.

[@TheAmazingAdventuresOfMiles]

@@DarrenEdwardsAviation I reckon if you ring the base and say you have some nice shots of the days training, they'll love it. I've worked with USAF personnel before, they are all nuts, but also really like photos showing how nuts they actually are 😆

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

lol, maybe different when they're the UK.

[@alistairclark6814]

I pretend this is me when I walk past people in the grocery store and turn corners.

Love it.

[@martinkane1058]

seen these over Dovey valley, brilliant

[@soyounoat2814]

These are top-quality images presented here. Good work!

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Glad you think so!

Do these people sell the Pictures of their taking, be Awesome to have a still picture of the F-15, F-35 or any Aviation. Thanks.

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Thank you for the compliment regarding the images. I've never sold an image to anyone, I probably could, but I've never really tried to.

[@randygillespie4952]

@@DarrenEdwardsAviation how much would ya charge for a Pic, thanks if replying back..

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

I wouldn't really know, I do have a store on Shopify, if you'd be interested in Tops/ Mugs/Towels/Fleece Blankets with the aircraft on there that I've photographed, the link is below, the items are listed from low to high on this link. darren-edwards-aviation.myshopify.com/collections/all?filter.v.price.gte=&filter.v.price.lte=&sort_by=price-ascending Check through there though, as depending where you are from in the world the postage cost can be a lot more expensive. Regarding the pictures price I'd get back to you, if that's okay. Regards Darren

Your most welcome.

okay I take back everything I said about the f35 😂

[@pztank7499]

I live within the New England MOA and often hear the F-35s from the 315th VT Natl Guard. Key word being 'hear'. I haven't seen a one yet. Thanks for posting this Darren. Now I can visualize - the terrain in the clip is not so dissimilar to the White Mountains...

[@DarrenEdwardsAviation]

Awesome, I bet that's a nice area to see them.

[@bakedrice1]

I don't know what I like best, the video or the images...damn! Great great great capture!!
