Im a few weeks in Switserland every year but mostly north in kanton Zurich.. and when im there the airforce doesnt fly... but
Yesterday we did go sight seeing around Meiringen and the airfield over there is on my visiting list for a lonnnnggg time.
And I found out that this was the last week of flying before the stop. So we arrived just before 12.00pm but the gates were closing runway lights went off... so we had to wait for an hour. And finally around 13.00 a Pilatus was taking off followed by 5 F-18s. I wasnt really prepared for the noise so most pics are blurred because of excitement others ruined by heathaze and wrong settings on my 30D. But some came out quite O.K and those are bellow:
Im visiting the swiss in july again but there is also a summer stop then. but maybe Im lucky and we go earlier or later.
One thing is for sure; I'll be back there very soon!
