Mach loop Visitors (definitive list)

Post by HeyfordDave111 »

This is just an idea of collating amongst us aircraft that have been seen through the Mach Loop.

I hope we can, between us all, get a definitive list here for others use / refer to.

Instead of simply listing types.... such as Typhoon, or Tornado, can we please put (for example) RAF Tornado GR4, so that we can get as close a definitive set of not only types but 'marks' as well.
This should be for aircraft both military and ex military civilian, fixed wing or rotary with an 'arm' such as R.N. or RAF, and must have 'gone through' the loop, not over it.
Cheers

I'll start us off with...

RAF Tornado GR4

Finnish Air Force Hawk Mk.51

Swiss Air Force PC-21


This list may be harder to add to as all foreign military types need to give 30 days notice to MOD for low flying in the Loop, or are completely banned.
