Jets over Dübendorf...Continue Reading

This years Jets over Dübendorf was a blast. Super super hot and sunny, but a great team of great flyers and models. My A-10 got a fan uprade and now draws 60 am per impeller at full thrust. 120km/h cruise and 180km/h in a dive. I also exchanged the original air pressure powered undercaridge for an electric one. All in all a fun day....Continue Reading

Once a year the Swiss Air Force opens it Axalp mountain Firing range to the public for a firing display and air show.

It is to my mind a unique event since the F/A-18 Hornets open fire with thier 20mm M61A2 just over the spectators and one of the targets is less than 400m away. The mountain backdrop is also impressive . The valley allows to be highter that the aircraft which is excellent for getting breathtaking pictures.

Getting to the firing range is quite an adventure. It involes a bus, a skilift and hiking for around 2 hours (400m up).

Its an epic and really a unique expirience

F/A-18 Hornet, F-5E Tiger, PC-24, PC-21, Pc-7 MK2, PC-6 Turbo Porter, Super Puma, Hunter
