FLYING BULLS DC-6 FLIES THROUGH MACH LOOP AHEAD OF RED BULL HARDLINE 2024 - 4K

A Douglas DC-6 is rare just to see but to see one fly low through the Mach Loop is an unicorn. A heads up from one of the locals at Llanbedr airfield the night before to say it had landed could only mean one thing, it’s going to fly The Mach Loop. With the Red Bull Hardline down hill mountain biking event taking place in the Mach Loop the odds looked good.
Ive included a link below to the Flying Bulls aerobatic team website which will tell you all you need to know about the team and the aircraft.

Beautiful! My first assignment as a young U.S. Navy sailor was to Fleet Tactical Support Squadron 21 (VR-21) at Naval Air Station Barbers Point, Hawaii. Our airfield (now Kalaeloa Airport) was just a couple of miles west of Ewa Beach near the southwest tip of Oahu. We flew C-118's (military designation for the DC-6): noisy and slow, but rugged and fun.
