ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Zigermeet 2011 Mollis LSMF 9/10juli11

Post by Triple Nickel »

Hi All,

Just got back from Switserland. Goal was the zigermeet 2011, and the A-10 action between the mountains.

The A-10 got cancelled, due to operational requirements, (or the USAF has a very stealthy silent hog) :unknown: , but the other stuff was nice also. In the mornings (until 13.30) the light is good, but thereafter the sun goes in your face). So at that time i decided to go up in the mountains and do some shooting from there.

It was a bit too hot (27-30degrees celcius) to my liking. So mountain view (=shadow) was my prefered spot... :Yahoo!:

Here are some of the results:

1. Patrouille De Suisse, seen from the Obersee strasse 800m above the town of Nafels.

2. F/A-18 Hornet Demo, seen from the showgrounds.

3. Tigerhunter J-4206 diving back to the field, seen from showground.

4. Super Puma with a very nice demo.

5. Hunter in Patrouille De Suisse colors seen from the mountains.

6. Another view at the F/A-18 from showground.

7. PC-7 team, turning back to Mollis. Seen from showground.

8. "Ziger-hunter" seen almost on top of his loop. (view from mountain).

9. J-4086 coming out of the loop and diving back to the field. Seen from Oberseestrasse (Mountainview)

10. Superconnie...

Very nice set Ron, especially the J-4086 shot is superb Hunter Action!

By the way, it's 'Patrouille Suisse' and 'Patrouille de France' , to make you remember it's even painted on their aircraft.. :?
