AXALP F18 HORNETS LANDING IN THE STUNNING MEIRINGEN AIRFIELD - 4K

Ғылым және технология

In my opinion The most picturesque airfield in the world. Meiringen is one of three main airbases of the Swiss Air Force. It is situated in an alpine valley of the Aar river. Like something out of Gotham City you can hear the jets firing up inside their caves in the hillside and taxiing across the public roads through the barriers. On this day we captured some hornets that had been out on a training sortie up in the range at Axalp.

    Wow. Did you see that back drop when the jet was taxing down the runway? That waterfall was awesome. 😃

    I've been to general aviation airstrips where they need to hold traffic for planes to land but never front line military jets. This is so cool.

    Whoa! Take-offs and landings will never be 'routine' deep within the confines of those mountains! BTW: The ending in some of your videos of two F-35's, one passing immediately overhead, with the one behind abruptly turning is still my favorite. I think that did that specifically for you.

    This is typical Switzerland. The territory is too small to have airports far away, so roads are crossing the runaways, chalets are built close and sometime you can see cows grazing. It is fun to stop to the barrier and see the airplane passing very close. You have a similar situation in Payerne
