Daring photographers in Snowdonia climb to cliff edge to glimpse US Air Force F-15 Eagle

Enthusiasts had gathered at Cad East in Snowdonia National Park to take pictures of F-15 Eagle fighters as they completed the Mach Loop

DARING photographers get a crafty “peak” at a US Air Force F-15 Eagle — from a mountain cliff edge.

They captured stunning shots of the warplane as it flew 200ft beneath them at Cad East, Snowdonia.

One photographer, who wished to remain anonymous, captured the moment the fighter flew just feet away from the waiting cameras.

He said: "The photo was taken at Cad East, a steep rocky outcrop which lies to the east of the mountain Cadair Idris in the southern end of Snowdonia National Park.

"I had gone there specifically to get photos of the aircraft flying through and was very pleased when the F-15s flew through. The best shots I took were some of the first that day."
