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.

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 top of the line fighters don’t seem to get as low as the other planes. I would not be surprised if the pilots had orders to fly barely below the tops of the mountains and not risk flying a 500 million dollar fighter into the valley floor. The pilots would probably like to try it, but their antics will show up all over the internet by the time they land.
