Two low level F-15E Strike Eagle passes- Bwlch Spur, Mach Loop 2018

December 31, 2019
Mach Loop

My personal favourite in the loop are the 48th Fighter Squadron F-15s from RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk. The F-15 is a big jet and always makes for an impressive sight when flown low level, especially in the valleys of the North Wales Military Training Area.

This was the last bit of footage I shot in the Mach Loop before it became a lot quieter in late 2018 and early 2019. I’ve not been back since, but I hope to make another trip in 2020.

Two 494th F-15 passes in the Mach Loop – July 2018

I’m uploading these for reference more than anything as I screwed up the focus on these two passes 🙄 You can’t win ’em all! At least they’re in focus when they’re close up, but not to my normal standards!

Even so, it’s always great to see the 48th Fighter Wing low level with their F-15E Strike Eagles. These particular jets were from the 494th Fighter Squadron, also known as the Panthers.

RAF Lakenheath Base Tour – 29th April 2016

May 21, 2018
RAF Lakenheath

I was lucky enough to spend the day with the 48th Fighter Wing at RAF Lakenheath back in April 2016. It was a huge privilege to get up close and personal with these front line aircraft and their crew.

Thanks so much to those that made it happen. It will be a day that I’ll remember for a long long time!

Mach Loop F-15E Strike Eagles (CLAW41) flight April 10th 2017

Low level / Mach Loop

Video 6 of 6

We were visited by the 494th FS from the 48th FW (RAF Lakenheath) on April 10th who treated us to 27 passes in the Mach Loop in Wales. One of the best days we’ve seen.

I decided to separate out each flight of jets into a different video, so that crews and enthusiasts could decipher the action. This flight, CLAW41, was a two ship and did two passes at Bwlch Spur. The jets were 91-0334 and 91-0309 and are here in order of appearance.

We couldn’t get the serial of the last jet as it was pretty much directly above us!
