What a stunning and incredible day! Amazing shots at high speed, condensation, vortex, flares…Everything in the same day, including the surprisingly F35! Thanks for sharing friend! Loved to watch it!
love watching the Hornets ( I am building one as we speak .) I always liked the intake treatment on the legacy Hornet , very neat . best place for an airshow is here !
U're "building one," 😳 lost my breath for a second, honestly. Like some sort of model. . I am to assume. Or, this is something I need to see, & somehow (awkwardly) make myself apart of.. 🙄 b/c that would be amazing. Life changing. (I'm way to obsessed with fighter-jets... feel like a fifteen yr old almost 40😔) Feel free to expound upon "u're build."
@@fredtedstedman right on, Sir. You can't really blame me, right..? I had to ask/try... i mean, what if u were (somehow, idk how(?)) were building/rebuilding a legacy Hornet -- I was like, shat. ""Is this G-d answering my prayers..?"" Wasn't gonna waste my only chance at getting to experience supersonic "split-s". G. L. Brother ✌&💞
Elwyn, astonishing video, as usual. You have catch the essence of the show. Less than a week and I have already start the contdown for next year, may be for a 3 day pass. 🇨🇭🇮🇹
Fluff and flares, that's the puppies privates of an airshow!!! Who were those nutters on the string?🤣🤣🤪 Nicely tracked as usual Elwyn, loving the stills👍👍👍👍
I admire your great compilation, which will draw many many people up there next year. But am happy having been up there, when it still was possible to drive to the end of the Axalp track at Chüemad 0500 a.m. at training days. To top your experience up there you might want to consider a climb up to Wildgärst next visit. The most incredible shot I ever saw from there was a F5 firing and the projectile was visible with the airstream it created.
@@ElwynR yes, it's inevitable obviously, that growing popularity creates restrictions. The last time I was up there in 2018 you had to be at the lake shuttle bus station at 0500 to get the busticket and first shuttle, were at 0600 at the skilift and at 0800 at the top for the sunrise😁
Absolutely fantastic Elwyn ✈️🇨🇭 what a great show they have put on, you have captured it brilliantly 👌👏👏 spluff galore and great camera skills. Thank you for sharing 👍👌🇨🇭✈️ ATB Andy
🥳🥳🥳That's the way to do it! And a shout out to your Lady (I assume and hope😊) for some stunning stills! I was hoping to see a few... And man! What a precious view it turned out to be! Great!
@@ElwynR aaww:/ But you did great despite that major handicap! And I hope you can have some more teamwork next time... With the fixed camera ;) cheers!
Thank you Soooo much for this awesome footage,!!! Reminds me of my dad when he was a major in the USAF. He flew F-105Thundercheifs or affectionately known as THE THUD!! HE WAS A RIVER RAT AND A WILD WEASEL. On training missions over Death Valley he flew at 550 things, I forgot what he called them, but they were 10ft off the deck!! Then in Vietnam they were really low again and he accidentally flew through someone's shed. He was shot down twice and brought in a cripple having the round 1/2 inch from going through the dashboard!! The 2nd time he and his backseater bailed out over enemy lines. They weren't going to rescue any more F-105s past enemy lines. But my dad's commander said He'll if we're not going in there!! First they had to find them. They landed on opposite sides of a valley. In elephant grass. Then my dad heard the enemy's way of flushing out pilots by barking like dogs. My dad was real good at keeping still. Then either A-7s or A-8s laid smoke cover. The head commander had his plane shot 27 times when he returned to base!! The green giants found both pilots. The backseat first then my dad. But before he made it into the chopper the Vietcong was upon my dad. They had to start flying with my dad hanging on for dear life passing over trees and such. They got to a safe area and pulled him up to safety!! He got caught in the fuselage and burned the right side of his face. Watching the jets and the capture of their cries and screams brings back very fond memories!!! God bless you and your wife for sharing your wonderful adventures!! 🙏🏻May He send His Angels to keep you safe on your journeys.
So glad I ended up coming across your channel. Had seen some of your unbelievable work via Crow, but now I get see many other talented pilots and great aircraft. I'm a fan, sir!
Brilliant vid ! Been wanting to go since 1993 when I acquired a video tape of the event when they did live firing ! Mirage fan so sadly not going to see them now !
that truly was d best airshow in d planet. lucky audience lol d aesthetic natures ambiance of it all added d most spectacular show. it looks like one of d parachute bag's hanging or that's just a flag dk :). that loud sounds like an elephant far*** lol (joke) was hilariously funny to hear im guessing that's ur twisting ur tripod or cam dk that either 😂 ty for sharing ur fabulous awesome content.
WOW!!! I still hope to visit there to do some photography. Is it me or has it gotten super crowded?! Or, is this a special event? Because the crowd is way bigger (maybe it always has been). And to see a Coca-cola setup, just made me sad. LOL Anyhoo, seeing your imagery helps deal with what I thought was just a few photographers up on a ridge taking pictures. Cheers!
@@ElwynR See, I didn't know that. The perception isn't clear when watching the videos. So, that's good to know. I mean, if anything, I just simply hope to be able to travel there from the States and attend. Because of your videos, it just makes it all so worth it. I've done air shows here, which are great because they're so purposeful with incredible performances. But, to just get some of my favorite jets whizzing by, and so close, would be EPIC!!!
hello, anybody's answer would be appreciated.? how fast y'all think they're going? subsonic, right? so, maybe like 500 knots???? effing awesome! & are those Super-Hornets..? or, the new Block3s!.?? btw; f around & find out about the baddest fighting Force ever assembled 🇺🇲 lead NATO!.!
@@ElwynR hey, so my 500 knot guess wasn't (too) far away. Good! I find some solace in that.. Considering the time per pay, I've been (arguably; wasting) "watching/studying/absorbing" as much as possible re; everything fighterjets.. kinda embarrassing; haven't felt so obsessed about a/any topic not since being a teen. Many moons, now. Thx. ▫️✌️▫️
Best Air show I've ever seen. Utterly amazing
It certainly is 👌
You’ve really set the mark
Here elwyn. Outstanding ✈️✈️🇨🇭👌
Thank you kindly, awaiting yours now 😉
Pure visual and sound pleasure ! Thank you for this sharing of an authentic passionate....
I’ve never been to Axalp but I really really want go, it’s on my bucket list. So glad they brought the f35 this year
Its an Italian F-35, the Swiss wont have theirs for a few years yet.
THEY DO LIVE FIRE!?!? WOW!!!
Yes! got to make sure we don't stand in the wrong place 😊
Spectacular -- excellent footage and great stills with much 'fluff' ! Nice bit of target practice and a super bit of heli action too. :)
It's certainly is spectacular but could have done with a bit more fluffy 😊
Those dudes on the helicopter line have nuts of titanium
Another awesome video from Elwyn R.
Thank YOU!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
I will get there before I die. Such amazing footage and the F35 was stellar!
Just spectacular! Nice one Elwyn and thanks for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great show !!!.... funny day for fighters pilots too , it seems .... 😊😉
Stunning airshow ! As always amazing filming ! 🔥

Whatever else you can say about the Swiss...they can fly...Wow, great demonstration.
There are so many filmmakers who try to catch this event on camera... But your footage is by far the best ever👍🏻🤩
Kind words thank you 😊
Holy shit that chopper move was spectacular 🏆
Amazing stills. Love the vapor trails.
Glad you like them! 👌

Spectacular! Thanks for filming this, Elwyn. 😀
We who live thousands of miles away appreciate being able to experience it too.
Glad you enjoyed it
Superb stuff, Mr. R.

Yes we had considered Wildgärst this year but elected to stay down the valley! next time!! they limit ticket sales to 4000 max these days

Glad you enjoyed it Andy! it was such a shame it was so Sunny as it was in you face 😎 dam good sow still 👌
1:32 is whoa 😮. 👏🏼🔥👏🏼
Spectacular footage work and very awesome aerial display , this feels like a bucket list for me in future 😎🤩
You should! Its a cracking place to visit
@@ElwynR ooo fantastic and must be an amazing experience 😁
How the sound of the engines, especially the mighty engine in the F-35, would have reflected off of the mountains opposite you.
it was great to see the F-35s in the mountains and the sound 👌
OK. New bucket-list life goals. Get to this damn air-show!! !! Incredible
🥳🥳🥳That's the way to do it! And a shout out to your Lady (I assume and hope😊) for some stunning stills! I was hoping to see a few... And man! What a precious view it turned out to be! Great!
Not many stills on this trip! missus at home 😉 and my main camera is at Nikon being fixed 😪
@@ElwynR aaww:/
But you did great despite that major handicap! And I hope you can have some more teamwork next time... With the fixed camera ;) cheers!
The only thing making it better would be having invited appearances year by year - always 2-3 other airforces doing 'exchange' practice 😉
That would be great 👌 but it won't happen because it's to showcase the Swiss airforce! we can always hope though 🤞
@@ElwynR Would maybe be a bit too risky (?) accident-wise...
Great team demonstration!!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍 they know how to put on a show 👌
Beautiful Job !
Amazing flying, amazing filming, amazing photography…..subbed
Thanks for the sub! its a stunning location 👌
Wow! Thanks 👍
It took a while to grow on me, but the F-35 is a definite looker!
Your content never disappoints!
Thank you Patrick 👍
Fantastic show, great lens choice. Great thumbnail, too.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow! Smoking footage!

You sure that wasn't the miniature brrrrrt of the M61 cannon?
Yet another absolutely breathtaking video, would so love to go there but guessing not very wheelchair accessible 🙈😂
No unfortunately not 😕 but the airbase is very accessible and is set in a stunning location 👌
@@ElwynR ill just stick to your footage then.. Next best thing. Cheers bud keep them coming.🙏
they need an A-10 to tear up those targets, gotta love the BBBBRRRRRRRR
soooo fuc.... awesome! Love it!
Welcome to Switzerland, baby!
Great video !!!!
Thanks!!👌
The end of the video.....there isn't enough money on earth to get me to do that.
Watch the last soldier fall over and then gets pulled into the air 😱🤕
Those pilots have the best job in the world 🤟🤟
The Suisse AF is going to replace the Hornets for the F35???
Yes

On which "hill" were you located - KP Ebenflüh or Tschingel?
There's clips from the both Hills, Tuesday by the tower and then two days further down 👌
Great Stuff E.
Thank you kindly
echt klasse show...👍👍👍
Wow..
Try that F-35 @ 1:35 : D
Thank you for the great footage Elwyn, really enjoyed the video! May I ask, what camera did you use to film it?
I use a Sony ax53 👌
Swiss Mach Loop!
Yes, and a lot better but only once a year 👌
I always find myself watching these after after a adderall binge
😎👍
Hey Elwyn - excellent work as usual-is the F35 seen already flown by Swiss pilots?
I don't believe so, not sure of the time scale.
These were italian F35. The Swiss F35 are gonna be produced in Italy.
good grief 😵💫👍👍
wow
VAPOUR!!!

I'm not a 100% but most of the action would be around 450-500knots and the fast pass 750knots
Aren't they all legacy Hornets?
