Techy Las I myself like the mach loop better , I love seeing the beautiful green Welsh countryside . We don't have anything where I live in the US like that

NotaRubicon Productions you could hear at least one f-18 was piloted by a woman

And he did a fine job imo

Thanks! Yeah, it was a rarity for us too, it made up for the times we've been out there and saw nothing :)

No aircraft will 'always' be king.

We have them based here in the UK. Excellent aircraft! 👍🏻

Spacegoat92 Mig-28's were a fictional aircraft created by top gun. They used the F-5 tiger to play the role of the Mig-28, however this isn't the F-5 but the T-38 talon, which i believe is a trainer of the USAF.

it was a joke since that they were on american soil xd

That was the joke he was making, ha. He wasn’t being literal. You are correct, though. That was a T-38 out of Edwards AFB.

Bwahahaha

The video was shot with a Sony FDR-AX1. Each day is different and completely random. We got very lucky with this video, as that was the most we saw in one day across all the trips we've taken. We have seen jets on weekends, but it's typically much less than on weekdays. That being said, there have been days we've been out there, both weekends and weekdays, where we saw absolutely nothing lol, and that's after waiting at least 8 hours per day until sunset. Patience is definitely required. I wish you good luck!

There's a private company down at Nellis AFB called Draken that flies A-4s and L-139s as Aggressor aircraft. They're bringing Mirages and Atlas Cheetahs to the base later this year, too.

When is the "best" time of year and time of week that has been usually busy?Id like to plan a trip to check it out.Luckily i live in Bakersfield Ca.Not bad of a trip.Its nice to see the 144th FW using the area.

Best time of year? I'd say anytime that's not the summer lol, that's too hot for me. And there's no best time of the week because each day is different. We've been luckier some trips than others, and there's no consistency or pattern that I've ever seen. There's been days where you can sit for hours and see nothing.

Im planning a trip sometime in october early nov.Looks like i need to upgrade my lens if i am going to get some good photos.I appreciate your reply!

It's a Sony FDR-AX1

I would plan a multi day trip. There's no guarantee anything will show up on any given day, so it's just luck and a lot of patience.

Good to know, thanks for the reply!

@@brandondaniels9471 Great, he's probably saying, "Holy shit, it's Maverick and Goose."

Thanks! There's no schedule or pattern to it. Some days we've seen flying in the mornings, and other days it's the afternoons, and some days there's no flying at all. We usually spend at least 8 hours a day waiting, and if we see something, then I consider that a great day!

Thanks, it depends on which spot you go to. You can get closer the further down the canyon you go towards the exit, but it's a longer hike. From the spot in the video, I was using 400-500mm.

All day, about 9 hours

Private company called Draken International flies them out of Nellis AFB as Aggressor aircraft

bring a scanner

From our scanner, we listen to the radio traffic and it has the ability to record.

Plenty of lists on the internet

Sony FDR-AX1 4K video camera with Rode microphone

Thanks

Go out any weekday and wait, hopefully something comes by

of course, but for low flying demo exercises in unrestricted airspace they transmit over civilian frequency...to avoid collisions with civilian aircraft the actual frequency should be on MOD's website.....along with the timetables for these events

These are not scheduled events and it takes place in a military operating area.

Yes.

I've seen jets at night, but always at high altitude. Based on our experience, the low level flights stop just after sunset.

That is a T-38 from Edwards AFB, it is not an aggressor aircraft

A-4 Skyhawk

@@ManteganiPhotos Thank You :))

From Lone Pine California it's about 41 miles to Father Crowley Point on your way to Death Valley. You take CA-136 east about 18 miles then follow CA-190 east another 23 miles to Father Crowley Point. If coming from the south you will take US-395 north to CA-190. Be aware that in the summer it will be or can be HOT!

Raptorman0909 thank you! And do you use a military radio??? Or is it a radio for communication with other spotters

Actually Thomas the last time I drove past Father Crowley Point was before I knew about its use as a low level flight training location so I've never personally seen AC there and I'm not sure what the radio freq's are. I do have a scanner and I suspect that someone there would be able to provide the appropriate freq's. I'm not sure where you're coming from but in addition to watching AC at FCP/Jedi Transition you can also visit Death Valley, Cerro Gordo, Lone Pine and Mount Whitney and further north along US-395 there's Mono Lake, the ghost town of Bodie, and Yosemite NP. Of course, I would not recommend Death Valley from April through October owing to the insane heat. I once drove through DV and the temperature was 126F or 52C.

oh ok THANK YOU!

wow 126F i couldn't stand that!

Usually indicating time in minutes

It's a gamble out there, could be a blank day, could be great. Been there during Red Flag and they didn't come out, too busy with missions.

Needs moar wedding parties.
