Just another day in San Diego. The Marines must have been practicing maneuvers, 'cause I kept seeing the F-18's taking off in pairs heading up towards 29 Palms area and the C-130 (I think) doing touch and go's or several of them taking off, not sure. I didn't stick around to see if it was the same plane or not.

Sorry for the quality, I was a couple miles out from the tarmac on my cell, no big camera today.

Aye' mate, let's take a rip through Mach Loop in the driver's seat of a Typhoon. Descriptive narrative on every turn from the RAF. Searching "Mach Loop" nets a pile of crazy video.
The narrator mentioned flying through the "M-6 Pass" (or that's what it sounded like), and that would be a road, right; aren't the roads in the UK called the "M-this or that"?

The roads in Wales are labelled A so not sure what the M6 reference was about so good catch....learnin' to do
It's between 2:50 and 2:56, he says something about:

- "And through the M-6 Pass..."

Or at least that's what it sounds like he's saying. Who knows?

Both vids are good stuff. Thanks!

First low pass jet visit from Canada

It's been a long time since we backed Mutt up and posted some low flyers. As punishment, I'm starting over, from the beginning.

This article claims that this is the first visit to Andrews Airforce base by one of our first jets. May 31, 1950.
