Very nice!
Number 3 is a winner. Not many places in the world where you can make a shot like that.
Groeten, Regards,

Since I visited Meiringen last week I have a special place in my heart for the Swiss airforce. It looks like Turtmann was such a great place too. Very nice pictures Dino! And indeed, photo 3 is weird! In the past (80's), we used to make jokes about jets crossing roads but in Switzerland it's for real.
