A little off topic, but how come no one ever points out how dangerous the unified, economically and industrially powerful, and with a growing immigrant population(which they cannot control) Germany is?

What does Germany have to do with an RAF aircraft flying over its own country? (I’m assuming RAF means Royal Air Force)

I love these Mach Loop videos. Thanks.

If you want to go, be sure to check Military low flying: RAF operational low flying training timetable first for the schedule. I need to add this to my bucket list.

Thanks for posting. It’s a beautiful & interesting area in which to practice low level flying.

The first plane looked like a Tornado, while the smaller one looked to be some sort of trainer. Radar evasion is a useful skill to practice when your plane is about as stealthy as an Airbus.

I hear all the Nazis hiding in Argentina are planning a comeback real soon now.

Seriously, you are worried about Germany with all the islamists about, the NORKS, the ChiComs, communists on the ballot in Mexico, etc. You are nuts.

I just hope the rest of Europe has drawn up plans for germany’s 4th try.. ........................ LOL, it was a German plane. Its a Tornado. This is no biggie, I saw Germans in their F104s zooming down the Rhine Valleys in nape of the earth flights. If you lived near the old Plattsburg AFB you could have seen our F-111s do the same type of flying. I’d have to give the trophy to those crazies in the 104’s zipping down the Rhine. I don’t believe the 104s were meant for nape of the earth flying.

Yes...unless you’re an American tourist traipsing around Snowdonia, Wales on a calm and peaceful morning...then Boom YoW, I instantly hit the dirt. They could not have been more than 35 feet above me flying in succession, down through the valley leading out to the sea, and banking right before the wall of the cliff. When they were sliding laterally in their turns I though one of them was going to hit! I said Extremely cool...after I checked my drawers!

Very impressive! Loved watching the Airbus A400 and the Hercules' acting like fighters going through the pass Thrilled to see the Osprey go whipping through and that string of F-22s.

Too bad some of my old buddies that flew A-4s couldn't get a crack at the pass for the cameras... They'd have brought back branches on their refueling probes!

The smaller one is a BAE Hawk.

Our Navy flies a version of that as the T-45 Goshawk. Good little trainer. My sister use to fly them.

Germany certainly has a knack for trying to kill the rest of the world and then citing their perceived moral or racial superiority (or that they were simply "following orders") as justification.

Maybe we just need to completely annihilate them, remove their factories, and turn it into the world's largest hop farm.

But keep the NordeSchleife. That place is freakin' AWESOME.

Maybe it’s the ‘mach’ as in Mach Schnell!

Learned that word in the 60s thanks to Sgt. Fury and his Howling Commandos
