Axalp live fire demo 2007 - Aircraft

[Slimsphotos]

Hi guys

Thought I'd drop a few pics in from last years air power demo at Axalp in Switzerland. Not often you get this close to F-5 and F-18s live firing.

C&C is welcome, and might come in handy for this years :lol:

Hope you enjoy, Chris

Very nice! Very big, too. IMAGE POSTING RULES (http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=74718) only allow pics 1024 pixels or smaller. You can always just post a link to them, though.

Chris,
Lovely shots, full of action. Isn't it strange that the Swiss have some cracking kit when they are a neutral nation! Mind you I did like their Hunters!

Oops, my bad about the size of the pics. I keep forgetting that a lot of my pics have been sized for my 19" monitor and not for a pixel size. Will remember in future.

Glad you like them, was a good day out, but hate climbing the mountain with all my gear on my back :-) Ah well, more exercise before this years.

I beleive that later in the year there is a Hunter 50th anniversary(sp) show at St Stephan which I hope to be going to. Should be a good Hunter fest plus Vampires, Venoms etc.
