AXALP 2021 The Greatest AvGeek Show on Earth!! Spectacular Swiss AirForce Live Firing!!

THE GREATEST AVGEEK SHOW ON EARTH: SWITZERLAND’S AXALP LIVE-FIRE DEMO
Axalp is, in my humble opinion, very likely the best air show on earth, although the Swiss Air Force will be quick to tell you that it’s not really an airshow, rather, it’s a live-fire training exercise to which the public is invited. It’s officially named Fliegerschiessen Axalp, which translates to Air Force Live Fire Axalp.
It’s an exercise that’s held on top of a mountain in the Swiss Alps, uphill from the ski town of Axalp. Attendance requires getting to Switzerland, a long drive, a bus ride that’s almost as exciting as the show itself, a chairlift ride, then a hike up the last 1,000 vertical feet.
I want to thank the Swiss Air Force for fantastic flying. we got two Day's of glorious weather but lost the last Day due to poor weather! I love your country and will return to Axalp next year. cross fingers!!

    Just fyi this is how it is always done to go over and back down a mountain. You flip upside down so that the g-forces pull you into the seat - positive g's - instead of creating negative g's if you had stayed right-side-up, which push you towards the canpoy. Negative g's are apparently quite uncomfortable. Going upside down also uses the natural lift of the wings, which create lift pushing the aircraft towards the wings top, thus allowing for a tighter turn than you'd otherwise be able to accomplish going nose down against the direction of the wing's natural lift.

Quite a problematic symptom, to be frank. It's not well documented whether it affects the swiss people in a general sense, or just these wonderfully magnifcent folks at an air show.

But history usually shows that an invasion of Switzerland would be too long, too complicated and too costly... Even the Third Reich had planned an invasion of Switzerland "Operation Tannenbaum" and decided to scrap it because of the country's mountainous landscape...And probably other things too...Such as all the secret Swiss bank accounts with Nazi gold and God knows what else... I am not Swiss but I've been there regularly since I was 4 and the one thing that always impressed me is that the people are intensely patriotic, not to mention the fact that after serving in the various branches of the military basically each Swiss citizen remains a reserve soldier until a certain age and they're required by law to keep their weapons at home... Which means that, within days, there would be several millions of people ready to fight... How do I know all that ? It's because I've been to Switzerland thousands of times since I was a kid and I have very close friends there... That said, nobody wants to go to war and I'm sure that the Swiss would rather live peacefully every day going forward...

    It is not an air show, it's a training exercise. They just so happen to tolerate spectators because they can't close the bloody mountain to the public for 2 weeks. If they called that an air show, it would be illegal. You can't have planes flying over people in Europe during air shows, and you are obviously not allowed to use live ammunition.
