Meiringen Air Base: Home of F/A-18 Hornet

- Dear Friends,
We have waited a long time for this to show you - now it has finally happened: We visited Meiringen Air Base.
Meiringen Air Base is an active military airfield of the Swiss Air Force in Unterbach west of Meiringen.
Meiringen Air Base is important for the Swiss Air Force. It is one of the three remaining jet airfields in Switzerland after 2016 with the elimination of the Sion jet airfield, along with Payerne and Emmen. It is also the only airfield where the aircraft cavern is still in use during ongoing operations. The arrestor cable systems for F/A-18s and F-5s at both ends of the runway can be retracted flush into the runway so that they do not pose an obstacle to small aircraft.
The military airfield attracts many guests to the tourist region. The annual Axalp air demonstration in autumn on the Axalp is well known. This event is attended by around 10000 guests from all over Europe over two days. In addition, interested visitors can watch the take-offs and landings of the jets in the immediate vicinity or get to know the military airbase on regular visitor days. The runway 10/28 is 2008 meters long and 40 meters wide

Of all Hornets in service worldwide, the Swiss have always maintained theirs the best in terms of their appearance. They look absolutely mint, and I really like their bespoke steely blue/grey colour.
Hello normal qui sont tout neuf. Il font rien avec leur FA18. Heures de bureaux 8h. 17h30 maison 🏠 les z'ailes du haut doubs 👍
@@jeanfrancoishernandez3657 but those are legacy Hornets, how new can they be - Yet, it's such a Blessing to hv such a consistent Work-Home balance 😋
The Hornets already have internal cracks in the wings and fuselage. That’s why the new F-35s are so important. No one knows how long the F/A-18s can still fly.
@@jeanfrancoishernandez3657 C’est fini ça depuis 2019 c’est 7/7 et 24h. Et c’est bien intelligent de répondre en français à un commentaire écrit en anglais
@@TheHawk1202 normal je suis ROMANDS... avec moin de 100 heures de vol annuel pour les FA18 🤣 les z'ailes du haut doubs
The takeoff at 6:05!! That was the most epic shot ever! Even movies with action scenes cannot seem to stabilize their cameras:)
It makes you think that you're watching a panned shot from a game instead of real life
Tks
That was pretty SICK! 🤙
I'm wondering how this is possible? Motorized tripod?
14:54 is better😉
Absolutely outstanding video your Ramstein videos are superb you have pushed the bar up with this one👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you very much!
Very nice! I was fortunate enough to fly with the Swiss Hornets some time ago. We flew out of Dubendorf but did an IMC recovery into Meiringen with the viz less than one mile. The approach between the mountains and into cloud was not something I will ever forget!
@Alex Kais cute
Wunderschöne Aufnahmen. Immer wieder schön deine Videos anzuschauen !!
Toll in der verschneiten Gegend. Diese Klarheit und Schärfe. Sensationell 👌👌👌
Besten Dank dafür 🤙
Vielen Dank für das nette Feedback!
This channel is by far and away consistently the best photography and filming I have ever seen. Whatever you do, however you’re doing it don’t stop!
Thank you very much for the very kind feedback! We really appreciate your view on the videos!
Fantastic compilation and quality ! I love those close ups when they do taxi , it feels like I'm standing next to them !
Thank you very much Topfelya!
@@FRAproductions You are very welcome ! Its very enjoyable to watch your beautiful videos !
@@topfelya Thank you very much! :D
Absolutely magnificent! The grand landscape in the background adds SO much to the ever-present velvety smoothness of your camera tracking. And I never thought about the Swiss even having an air force.......who knew!!?
Thank you very much Danny! You can read more about the Swiss Air Force in the description and here: www.swissinfo.ch/eng/politics/swiss-air-force-finally-on-call-around-the-clock/46253116
I knew… Like most of Europe
Well, good for you! "Guillaume", is it?
@@dannywilliamson3340 not sure why you’re trying to be clever “Daniel” is it ? But if it makes you feel better to hide your ignorance behind some half assed humor than go for it!
Ohhhhh! I thought you wanted to see who could be the bigger tool. OK....you win. Now quit cluttering up this man's nice channel with your crap.
Usually I feel like plane spotting videos of any kind are mostly meh.. but this video is far from meh! The multiple angles, the hi res video, the smooth panning never letting g the aircraft leave the frame.. this is by far the best video of plane spotting I've found to date. No camera shaking or anything! Impressed and will be subscribing!
Thank you very much for your feedback and the subscription, we really appreciate every support!
That camera tracking is absolutelly mindblowing. How??? Hooowww??? 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Thats is some of the best footage of Hornets at Meiringen I have ever seen - even after UA-cam's compression Algorithm messed with it... I'm guessing we're seeing some 12K footage through some pretty big lenses, with a bit of image tracking/stabilisation and cropping done in post? Whatever you've done tho, keep doing it!!!
Thank you very much Dan!
The best F/A-18 videos I've seen in a long time! Honestly speechless.. Thank you from Australia!
Unsere F/A - 18 sind schon die schönsten :D
Wonderful location . Precision flying from the nation of precision timepieces . Well done . Great photography .
Wow had to watch this in slow-mo. Double fun. Thanks for the top quality filming. Keep it up guys x
Thank you very much!
Stunning videography 👌
That's high praise coming from Mr Phillips!!! Haha
Worth every second watching! Amazing clips! Very scenic everything! Glad you’ve gone so far to film at the best Swiss Air Force Base! Outstanding footage!! 10**********
Thank you very much mate!
Man your camera tracking is unbelievebly smooth. Well done!
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your kind feedback and support! We wish you all a nice weekend!
That cockpit canopy glass looks absolutely spotless.
The most beautiful F 18 ever, without the rectangular air intakes and the monstrous wings.
F-18 a piece of shit, only f16 is uglier, look at the SU, this is how a healthy person's fighter should look like
@@user-en7qc9ef2s Know many constructions of Sukhoi, eg. 37, 27, 30, 33, 35, 57. But the F 15, F16 and F18 (F17) were groundbreaking aerodynamic designs of their time, on which many subsequent designs of other types
have built up.
Your videos are nothing but breathtaking, you really do deserve much more attention!
Keep up the great work mate!
Take Off! Wow! 😍👍🏼
(From 6:00 to 6:33) + (14:58 - 15:30)
1998! "Only" 24 years ago?!
Swiss F/A-18s and snow is like a chef’s kiss
Outstanding video as always. Great view and love the details on the camera angles.
Thank you very much :D
@@FRAproductions
I'm absolutely amazed by your work!! Incredible shots, stunning camera and editing work! Great entertainment on the Saturday evening :) Well done!!
Very well done! Great photography & editing.
Thanks for your good feedback and supporting our channel 👍
Absolutely magnificent! That birds eye view is am amazing addition, love it!
Thank you very much mate!
The Legacy Hornet is such a beautiful aircraft 👍
Such an awesome video man! Crazy to see those Swiss pilots buttering 🧈 the runways
Utterly astonishing photography & editing.
Wow. Those touch downs are so smooth.
Ich staune von welcher Qualität die schön töndenden Aufnahmen sind. Bin selbet ab und zu dort . Einfach beeindruckend wie nahe die Maschienen an einem vorbeitonnern.🇨🇭🇨🇭
This is an absolutely fantastic piece of work and some outstanding footage there. Excellent work :)
Thank you very much!
You nailed it! Thanks for posting...
Thank you very much!
Servus.
Das ist einfach nur der Hammer. Bin total begeistert.
Da schlägt das Fliegerherz gleich noch viel schneller.
GLÜCK AB GUT LAND,
Guido.
Vielen Dank Guido!
Finest F-18 footage out there.
Absolutely perfect video work.
18 a piece of shit, only f16 is uglier, look at the SU, this is how a healthy person's fighter should look like
JUST ONE WORD! this is an awesome jet. Undoubtedly the best F/A-18 Hornet jet ever
Absolutely perfect camera work, perfect editing, chapeau! How did you get the closeups so stable?
If i had to guess, i would say the original shot was a bit further out. Then in post editing he zoomed in and used a stabilizing tool to make it perfect.
I think he asked Michael J Fox for the steady shots 😊
Some great stuff again. You just gave me the feeling that I want to go back to Meiringen again. For me it's already 3 years ago since my last visit! Thanks for this video guys 😁🤙🙏
Thanks for your good feedback! Meiringen is a great place for spotting but it would be nice to have some more and different aircrafts there 😀
@@FRAproductions haha, thats because you are more civilian aaviation oriented 😉 In the Military world this is just standard that you have to wait for results during the day. Its a pity that the WEF is not held anymore at this great base. In the past we also had many Tigers at this location. Did you guys also visit other fields in the Schweiz like Alpnach, Sion, Stans & Emmen? Or was this trip only Meiringen? I have to go back soon as well. My last visit in 2018 was still in my photography years, now I am a video maker like you guys since 1,5 year 😁😉
Incredible video !!!! So beautiful!!!
Thank you very much mate!
wow man this is absolutely epic
Thank you very much mate!
Wow that was absolutely stunning!!!! Those air tracking shots were flippin awesome!!! Thanks for sharing.
Incredible camera work. I watch a lot of videos on aircrafts take-offs and landings, but this video has by far the most impressive camera shots.
The scenery alone made this video so wonderful.
That was outstanding, sometimes they fly over my village (AG near the Jura), but not seen any for a couple of months. One day I will pop down for some spotting. Your camera work, and the panning, looks like some sort of auto locking pan! Simply amazing!
Thank you very much for the very kind feedback lain! Very nice that you see them over your village and that you plan to go there, enjoy Meiringen!
I've watched a LOT of aviation videos, but this is truly stunning. I don't know how you got some of these shots, but you did fantastic! I seriously hope you do more like this.
Thanks Josh for your good feedback and supporting our channel 👍
wow, that's some great photography.
Thank you very much Michael!
Great Swiss military action there mate 👍. Thanks for posting this beautiful video!
Thank you very much!
Stunning quality as always 💯💯
Thank you very much! :)
Incredibe footage again guys. Every time when I think t can't get better, you guys prove me wrong. Amazing eye candy, keep it up!
Wonderful and very detailed. When landing gears retract, wheels stop turning - I have never before seen/noticed that on a video! Interesting air base, too. Public roads crossing runway and a taxiway.
Great video watching from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦
Thank you very much! Huge welcome mate! :D
Omg the angles 😍 so epic video
Thank you very much mate!
I have to say that this is fantastic footage. Thanks for sharing it.
Fantastic footage. Very crisp and silky smooth! Lots of dedication to your craft and it shows! Superb!
Stunning footage...quite simply stunning! What an amazing location for an airbase with a backdrop like we see here! And a video focused on the Hornet! Life don`t get much better than this! Thank You 😍😎
Thank you very much!
Incredible footage guys!!!
Thank you very much!
You continue to produce remarkable results. Awesome vision, technique and gear. Thx for all the hard work. A video on your shooting philosophy and gear choices would be great!
Thank you very much for the feedback and your idea, we will see how we can do that!
Beautiful area to film. Loved it!
Movie grade quality, better than even! Top Gun III will come calling.
Wahnsinn! Und was für ein Zufall, bin in letzter Zeit auch oft auf der Suche nach Military Spotting (Meiringen, Neuburg, Manching)
Einfach nur genial deine Videos
this channel is very good but underrated. I hope this channel can grow rapidly
Thank you very much!
@@FRAproductions Keep the spirit!!
This is awesome!
Thank you!!💙🙏💙
Just pure raw Power!!! love it!!
Brilliant work mate. Spot on with the camera work and the footage of Hammer 41landing was superb. Subscribed.
Thank you very much! Huge welcome to the channel!
Incredible footage - outstanding quality as always!
Thank you very much!
This is how videos should be. Amazing job!
Absolutely stunning photography!
What a stunning video mate! Liked!
MEGA! Super Video, Danke. Das Tracking ist ja unglaublich! Das macht die Kamera mit Stativ allein, oder?
Vielen Dank! Wir filmen und nachbearbeiten es dann selber :)
Super schöne Aufnahmen 👍🏻
Vielen Dank Ihnen!
Wow. Incredible footage/quality and cinematography. Awesome imo best on YT.
The Swiss obsession with precision is also evident with the jet fighter they chose. F-18 is designed and built for precision flying, and most especially……..landing!
Ganz geile Kameraführung. Wer immer das gemacht hat, Chapeau!
Vielen Dank :)
Images and sound are insane !
Wow stunning video work I enjoyed that immensely, simple perfection. Your videography is exceptional and spoke volumes without music or commentary. Such a beautiful airbase as well captured wonderfully by your work.
Thanks Phil for your good feedback and comments posted 👍
Hi, this is a really fantastic video about our FA-18 flight activities. Great job, thank you. Heinz
Great videos of this beautiful jet with the mountainous background. Thanks for posting.
Thank you David for your good feedback and supporting our channel 👍
This is a phenomenal location and flying back up by a fabulous video
Awesome video! How do you get those extremely steady paining shots? In editing software? Recorded in 8K?
Editors gold mine
Absolutely Amazing!
Thank you very much mate!
Amazing footage, subbed. What Camera did you use to film this ?
Absolutly fenominal.
Thank you very much mate!
My GOD! What do you do to track them so steady, so stacked??!! Absolute eye candy!
