Best childhood memories are from doing walks in the Lakes and having jets zip past in the valleys below. Insanely close, too — I distinctly remember seeing the pilot’s visor and making out white text on the side of the aircraft.
- shiftpgdn 5y agoIs the Lake District the infamous “Mach loop”?
- the__alchemist 5y agoNo - the Mach Loop is in Wales. Although as the jet flys, they're not far off - so it's common to do lowfly training missions that include both. The loop has a number of aviation enthusiasts who reside there. They'll hear jet noise (or listen on the radio...), then call their friends, get out of their houses, and watch / snap pics of the planes.
