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. 😃
Beautiful backgrounds, beautiful planes, beautiful landing techniques, beautiful camerawork.

What I really liked was the Cows and shit just chilling lol.
What a sight to behold! Nothing can beat this. Great aircrafts in beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing this mesmerizing experience with us.
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.
Amazing shots! I prefer the look of this legacy Hornet to the Super Hornet. What a pleasure to watch them touch down on the runway.
What a stunning place 😍 and its nearly time to do it again 😏

You never disappoint Mr. Phillips ! Thank you!
Beautiful shots man. It's amazing how loud f18s are for their size. Thank you so much for the video.
Axalp 2 years in a row...i'm jealous! I'll be watching from the states this year. Awesome footage as always and thanks!
Those pilots know their stuff. Beautifully flown.
What an amazing place, and a great look at the landing gear on the F-18, built strong for carrier duty!
The Touch n Go was done to perfection. Very nice!!!!!!
That is an absolutely beautiful location for aviation photography. Even a normal takeoff or landing looks like a low level run through the mountains.
Awesome stuff as usual!

Wish there was a 💕 button to hit for every single upload of yours in KZread. Stunningly gorgeous birds the Hornets, a pleasure to behold from up front just moments before touchdown. The 2- seater touch and go was smoother than silk Keep looking forward to your work in print form. Look no further for the first purchase of it.

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.

Beautiful!!
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
Really nice! Grat footage.

Fantastic backdrop to the landings.
This is Top Gun Of all channels and I would love to be this closer where you are right now
i like👍 how 🇨🇭switzerland builds their airports, airfields, airbases as just like a public parking lot. unlike other countries builds airports like a prison if yk what i mean, a lot of walls, fences, barbed wires surrounding the airfield. great captures btw
Beautiful

Nice landings, curious why the 121.5 is painted on the drop tank. This is the emergency freq every pilot memorizes early in training, is this directed at support troops somehow?
