AXALP F18 HORNETS LANDING IN THE STUNNING MEIRINGEN AIRFIELD - 4K

  • In my opinion The most picturesque airfield in the world. Meiringen is one of three main airbases of the Swiss Air Force. It is situated in an alpine valley of the Aar river. Like something out of Gotham City you can hear the jets firing up inside their caves in the hillside and taxiing across the public roads through the barriers. On this day we captured some hornets that had been out on a training sortie up in the range at Axalp.

    Wish there was a 💕 button to hit for every single upload of yours in UA-cam.
    Stunningly gorgeous birds the Hornets, a pleasure to behold from up front just moments before touchdown.
    The 2- seater touch and go was smoother than silk
    Keep looking forward to your work in print form.
    Look no further for the first purchase of it.

    This is typical Switzerland. The territory is too small to have airports far away, so roads are crossing the runaways, chalets are built close and sometime you can see cows grazing. It is fun to stop to the barrier and see the airplane passing very close. You have a similar situation in Payerne

    i like👍 how 🇨🇭switzerland builds their airports, airfields, airbases as just like a public parking lot.
    unlike other countries builds airports like a prison if yk what i mean, a lot of walls, fences, barbed wires surrounding the airfield.
    great captures btw

    Whoa! Take-offs and landings will never be 'routine' deep within the confines of those mountains!
    BTW: The ending in some of your videos of two F-35's, one passing immediately overhead, with the one behind abruptly turning is still my favorite. I think that did that specifically for you.
