Yesterday, there was the annual Swiss Airforce Display (kind of a airshow, but with real canon-shooting on various targets in the mountains)

The gunrange is located in the mountains, so a 2hours walk/climb is needed to get there (or a VIP flight with a SuperPuma helikopter

)

Following participants of the Swiss Airforce were there, demonstrating their skills
F-5 Tiger fighter plane
F/A-18
Super Puma/Cougar helikopter
PatrouilleSuisse (F-5) !

incredible scenery with the snowmountains in the back, nice weather, a great day

VIDEO of F/A18 shooting and a 6planes fly-by
Today, did my first compilation video, from the canon-shooting demonstration of the F/A-18 planes
Listen to the sound of the bullets, the "whiiiuu" of the still rotating revolver-canon when the plane is infront of me ...

~10mb, 44sec, 640x480res
