Reminising on my Swiss visit last year (and that of Meringen and Emmen air force bases), I came across this clip. Absolutely blew me away... although I am wondering that the cost of this production may have caused the temporary reduction in the Swiss Air Force budget at present ;D

There is also this one on the retirement of the Mirage in 2003... where the pilots apparently got permission to write off all the hours remaining on the airframes in any way they like. Some of the cockpit footage in the valleys is incredible.

I hope you enjoy

I love the Hornet i think its a sexy beast in the air and on the ground!
	The Auster should be recognised for what it is: a gentleman's aerial touring carriage and a nice aeroplane.

	I know there's a lot of money in aviation because I put it there.
