In The Loop

This is a virtual airline achievement created by FireFly Air.

Introduction to the Mach Loop:

The Mach Loop is a set of valleys in Wales, situated between Dolgellau in the north, and Machynlleth in the south (and from which the Mach Loop gets its name), which are regularly used for low level flight training by many Airforces around the world due to its unique topography, with flying as low as 250 feet (76 metres) from the nearest terrain.

Mission:

Fly the Mach Loop! take off from RAF Valley. Fly south and enter the MACH Loop at the North entrance. Return RAF Valley and butter the landing.

WARNING: This achievement is intentionally hard and is only available during the event.

F-35 and Harrier omitted due to VTOL capability.
