Ha, nobody in current RNZAF does😬
To answer the "what are they doing low level etc.." q'ns, they are earning their keep by letting the world know the latest US mega jet is in Europe shoulder to shoulder etc

Something on facetube made me chuckle. Apparently the F-35s were planning to fly LFA7 then head north for LFA17; they never made it to LFA17.
Apparently they had difficulty in finding the loop and only had time/gas for once round there before heading back home. A bit worrying that with all the tech they had difficulty in finding a substantial chunk of north Wales. :-)

Shot - they might not make the same sound or be quite as fast - but I think one of these could generate a pretty good low flying area story or two.
And do a decent ridge roll as well...

Our USAF friends were not exactly 'in' the loop, were they?
Looked like a Medium-Level Navex, so not really sure of the point.
'In' the loop is when the photographers are looking down at the aircraft, rather than up into the sky.
Come on chaps, let's get lower!
