Low fly vids - Wales - HD

Post by RAF_Quantum »

Hi Guys,

Found these vids through Fighter Control forum. Vid 1 @ 60mb, vid 2 @ 150mb but well worth it - both in High Def.

Vid 1

Vid 2

Doesn't it make you want to jump into your car and go !

Interesting videos, very professional. That one shot of the Harrier pilot waving is amazing timing.

Also helps explain why I keep seeing small groups of people on the tops of local hills whenever I drive over the "Bwlch" or down the Corris Road!

Brilliant Vids! Two fat alberts in formation is very impresive. It did show a few things. I'd know idea there where still any red & white Tucano's left... and the Hawk is prety smokey! Still not much can beat the Harrier, and the Typhoon looked very unimpresive when compaired to the Tornado.

One thing that realy stuck out though was how the aircraft are dwarft by the awsome hills. How lucky we are to live in such a great country.

Thanks John

I really like Amy MacDonald! I was fortunate to first hear her on Wogan last summer via the internet. Hardly anyone on this side of the pond has heard of her, but I ordered her CD from the UK and just love it.

Just watched a Hercules flying low up the Mawddach estuary towards Dolgellau and the "Bwlch" from my front window, there's been quite a bit of Hercules low flying these past few weeks, not entirely sure why, although I know they do practice beach landings somewhere down south (of Wales that is...).

Perhaps it's just the weather getting better although I have seen them in horizontal rain and gales and have heard them at night pass low overhead so perhaps the weather isn't such an issue!

Now if only there was call for low flying practice with a VC10...
