Found this online, mods move it or delete it as you wish. I have seen a lot of photos from here from some members on this site, cool to see it in a video. Count the L's!

Excellent Piece!

Drives home the fact that they are really "hauling the mail" through there.

I wish we had a place like that in the US...

We do John but the surroundings are a LOT less hospitable and require a much longer drive to get there...

There's a whole section of north-central Nevada (North of Groom Lake and East of Fallon) where I'm sure they're in the weeds quite frequently. I know they bring plenty of mud movers to Red Flag as well.

One thing I've always wondered: Do they fly the Mach Loop at night much?

Access would be a problem, private property, barbed wire and such. Trick would be to find a published VFR route or corridor with terrain like that. The Nellis ranges do have "favorite" flight paths but you'd be pushing your luck twice a day during a flag exercise that someone flys through. Anyone in Washington State or northern California know of anything?
I have heard that strict quiet hour rules limits night flying over there so I'd really doubt the night LL in the hills, though it does get dark early in winter.

I have never had any interest in airplane photography, but this video was just awesome. I just love the idea of getting to watch all of those planes zip by.
