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.
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.

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!
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!!?

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!
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.🇨🇭🇨🇭
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**********
@@ВерсальГедан 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.
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!!!
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 😁🤙🙏
@@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 😁😉
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.
Lot of lessons from swiss air force using a naval fighter. They last much longer without the hard life in a boat. Seems like the Swiss guys fly in a clean configuration leaving the wings without all that heavy loads we usually see in the Navy. The only down from the Legacy it is the drag. He can't accelerate as fast like Tomcat as example, and has a kind of short legs with internal fuel. But their country isn't that big anyway. I think it was the perfect choice.
@@FRAproductions I looked at your reply and realized I wasn't sub'd to the channel HaHa .... seemed like a channel I'd be sub'd to , watch it before , how'd this get missed haha . Sub'd now , have a great day buddy .
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!
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.
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.
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 😍😎
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
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!
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.
6:00 to 6:30 min Impressive tracking of the aircraft with the camera. Was it manually captured, or using a tracking/locking gimbal system or just software processed after shooting?
Stunning visuals, nothing beats those alpine mountains in the background! Just wondering, from where did you record the birds eye views? On the mountains nearby, Tower, from a Heli?
Thank you very much! There are many spots on a mountain. There are many smaller points where you can film from, one for example is Spot 8 on Spotterguide : www.spotterguide.net/planespotting/europe/switzerland/meiringen-air-force-base-lsmm/

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! 🤙

14:54 is better😉

Wow. Those touch downs are so smooth.

Great quality ! It s possible to realise the same reporting on the Rafale of the French Air Force.
Why do they carry the guard frequency on the centerline tank? Intercepts perhaps?
Correct! In case an aircraft is intercepted, this frequency allows the aircraft access to ATC and Swiss Emergency Services :)
Fantastic video, congratulations!
