As promised and requested some more pictures from this wonderful week in the Suisse mountains. Thanks for all kind words and maybe enjoy some more from my shot taken.

A blazing departure, not 100% sharp but still I like this one for it's angle

Another one taking off from Rwy28

A visiting Tiger from Payerne departing for the mission with a Hornet

Just before leaving the safety area enroute to the runway

The F-5's buddy daprting the 28 as well

A Hornet arrving back at the 28. Taken a few hundred meters up at the sign 'Zaun'

It depends on how many are coming in and where you are standing. It could have been better but happy with the result from where I was standing. Same place at Zaun

Surely just as amazing as the BigBirds!! Maybe even more...

And at Payerne we struck on bad wx, with a 'bit' of heavy over photoshopping it can be quite rewarding

And the Meiringen visitor returned to Payerne

Young & old facing the cold rainy wheather

You wanna know how bad the wheather was.....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

'Hornet02' departing runway28 making a small bank over the freeway.

We all know this sight from Meiringen

'Hornet09' steeply turning for final to runway28

Another dearture from runway28

Not too many airbases offer an almost perfect view into the pilots working environment.

Feeling hot hot hot, in spite of the cold wind

And a surprice visitor from Payerne.

Company, wheather and interests made this a very nice spotting holliday.

Awesome. What equipment did you use? Must be great.

Those shots are amazing!

And makes me just like joost curious what gear youve used for it. And keep those shots coming!

Sines · Post by **Sines** » 20 Apr 2008, 17:05

For these shots I used a 40D with 400mm/5.6 + convertor 1.4 and quite frankly this combo seems to work better with the 40 in comparison to the 20D used before.

Some more will follow later.

Bye

Wow great pictures.
Especially like the first 2.

The snow blowing over the mountiantop in the background in the second one really completes the pic.
