Cad West Low Flying

[TaffZee]

Need to get a cruise together to take in the Mach Loop or Roundabout as its known. Some fantastic low level flying down to 100 foot in good weather, been here a few times (had one pilot drop a salute to us as he went bye must have been a Yankee).

That looks good fun, I'm for for it - how do you know which days and times the jets are flying?

Excellent video from a pilot training out of Valley, including amazing low flying at the Mach Loop: Oh and a great soundtrack...

That must have been where I got the life scared out of me when I was about 10. Was having a pee by the side of the road when a jet screamed past at low level. Probably would have wet myself if I wasn't already doing so

Problem is you don't hear them until they are overhead, and they are excruciatingly loud at that height.
