whitehaven Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Flew the Mach Loop north entrance in XPTE, had to concentrate on flying so no pics of that but great fun it sure was. Passing Caernarfon Airport. Menai Strait. Runway 31 in sight. Over the numbers. ATB, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodger Pettichord Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Hey Dave. I have no idea what the Mach Loop is, but this looks like just the plane to fly it in. Thanks for great shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben77 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hey Dave, flying the Mach Loop in that plane would have been a blast! I wonder if the ORBX scenery there includes the photographers on the hill, maybe you can write to them and see if they got any shot of your jet as you went past hehe Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VH-KDK Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 A very luxurious way of flying the loop. At what stage in the flight were drinks and canapés served. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
