Hawker Hunter MK-58s St. Stephan, CH

Hi guys,

Just a couple of teaser pics while I work on the full gallery.
This sunday past (09th), was the celebration of the Hunter being in Switzerland for 50 years, so they had a small show with the Hunters, Vampire, PC7 team, Patrouille Swiss, Saab Gripen, Let-410, Rafaele, and a flyby of the L-1079 Breitling Super Constellation.

Anyway, the pics, 5D with 100-400mm, cropped and a little PS work. EXIF intact.

Edit 14th. One more pic added plus link to full gallery below with 80 pics

Enjoy, Chris.

Twoship flyby. Nice scenery for the BG.

Hi

I like #2 best with its unusual private colour scheme especially as it stands outs nicely against the background.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks. It is a very striking colour scheme, but a nightmare to photo whe in bright sunlight as it reflects the light very well. The old guys keep these things nice and shiny

Bump for gallery link and one extra pic

If you want striking colours here is Miss Demeanour taken at an airshow in 2007

Like the formation shot but a shame that only the leftmost plane seems to be in sharp focus?

Yep, know the focus is a tad off, mixture of cropping, compression and pushing the 100-400mm lens to its limit. I was all the way to the other end of the runway for some of the shots. C'est la vie.
