F-35A's in the Loop

The visiting USAF F-35A's in England have recently made a run through the world famous Mach Loop. That makes both US fifth gen. fighters that have been run through the Loop.

You knew they were gonna. There was no way they were going to pass up this chance.

Just hoping they come up to the Lake District as well.

Still waiting for a B-2.

Cool video thanks for posting...i have to admit i don't know much about aircraft in general...but damn that thing looks good in the sky, sounds like a beast too would love to hear one at full tilt

Kind of a Tail of the Dragon for fighters.

That's pretty sick right there!! S&F

I once again got a chance to go down and see her at the Tyndall AFB airshow. Due to some close friends/contacts I got a chance to see her inside and out up close and personal and the cockpit always amazed me. So used to seeing Analog or at least majority analog gauges.

It's pretty impressive at full afterburner. Zaph and I saw/heard/felt them at last year's Red Flag. They do have the world's most powerful jet engine fit to a fighter.

Yea it is one loud jet. The people in Ft. Walton near Eglin AFB complained A LOT and still do when she is out of there. Unlike the F-22 I haven't heard it enough myself yet to tell what it is while flying low. The F-22 makes a distinct high pitch whine when low and slow.

That was f#cking sick. At 0:30 to 0:40, it's almost invisible. I like the way it deflects the light.

LOL who would pass up that chance??

Not you, I or a majority of the people here!! I'm still working on a VIP ride myself in any fighter....

I think this is their last week before coming home.

They were going out over Cheyenne Road the last time I was at the Petro, and there was a big difference between them and the Vipers even at that distance.

a reply to: Zaphod58

Damn that's really annoying hopefully I'll get a glimpse of them fingers crossed and all.

Saw 2 euro fighters today flying across the M6 off to the lakes so maybe they might be meeting the F35s can only hope. Oops sorry reply was for Zaph

They used to run some serious low level stuff, many years ago.

I bet that was awesome to see.
