Das unsere kampfz Piloten die Ungekrönten Könige der Alpen sind hat sich längst rum gesprochen. Was einem zu denken geben müsste wäre dass ein grosser Teil unserer Luftwaffe an dieser Show teil nimmt. Und was geschehen kann wenn eine Luftwaffe zu klein ist zeigen ja leider jüngste Ereignisse
That inverted pull back on the stick over the peak of the mountain was straight out of Top Gun Maverick! Incredible!! The Swiss pilots and this videographer really impressed me, well done.
Just fyi this is how it is always done to go over and back down a mountain. You flip upside down so that the g-forces pull you into the seat - positive g's - instead of creating negative g's if you had stayed right-side-up, which push you towards the canpoy. Negative g's are apparently quite uncomfortable. Going upside down also uses the natural lift of the wings, which create lift pushing the aircraft towards the wings top, thus allowing for a tighter turn than you'd otherwise be able to accomplish going nose down against the direction of the wing's natural lift.
I am quite certain it's the other way round. When I saw the trailer for Top Gun: Maverick, I had an instant déja vu 😉 Greatest air show I have ever seen.
They did it this way with the Mirage III, with the Hunter, with the Tiger, and now with the Hornet. It's part of the training, it has nothing to do with Top Gun.
Literally. As in, real. Basically, without _any_ regards to height, jaws will actually become dislocated from the head, and drop, meaning in regards to gravity. Quite a problematic symptom, to be frank. It's not well documented whether it affects the swiss people in a general sense, or just these wonderfully magnifcent folks at an air show.
The manœuvre at 1:16 is literally incredible… the amount of skill required for that is unbelievable 🇨🇭🇨🇭 (Look at all the fast food workers in the comments trying to explain how easy it is to do this because they have 100 hours in Microsoft flight simulator lol)
@@Gee478 It's a digital fly-by-wire system, the Hornet is made aerodynamically unstable. So not sure what makes you think it'd be hard to make those maneuvers. Watch the Finnish Hornets for some real action!
@@mattinasa2595 it's basic military flying skills, not a passport matter. Stop blabbering about how cool been a scandi means. No matter what system input moves your flight controls you still need to know what to do and when.
I just watched top gun and this video perfectly encapsulates the moves/stunts we saw in the movie!! and now i can share it to my friends who saw the movie but had no idea what they were seeing was real, they thought the scenes were CGI-ed Bravo thumbs up for this video!!
Amazing, now that's an airshow. Like others have said definitely made my bucket list. I felt like a young kid again, going to my first airshow watching this.
Love you videos, as the ex-Ground Forces Liaison between the USAF and US Army, I grew to absolutely love the ripping sound of great fighters passing overhead, this is MY KIND of ASMR.... Bravo for putting these up.
Now that my friends is an Air Show. What a spectacular display of force and superb flying skills. The Swiss always surprise the world of how a country can project a low profile and yet they occasionally surprise the world of how they are a force to be reckoned with. Go Switzerland!💪 They prove it's the quiet ones ya have to look out for. From America!
And that doesn't even include what they have hidden in the mountains since WW II waiting to greet Hitler's armies with flowers and cupcakes. I've seen the big metal doors.
@@austindarrenor There was a hot minute at the beginning of the pandemic that I wondered if we were going to blow the tunnels and bridges into the country...
Switzerland is definitely a country that's hard to invade and occupy. Besides huge countries like Russia, Canada, USA, Brazil or China, due to their size.
Im..Im...just shocked! the 5 blokes hanging off the Heli, that bad fkr tearing round the edge of the mountain at close range......just fkn glorious......err, thanks for that.....I think....LOL, awesome mate all round, this is mind blowing to me. Cheers, W Yorks.
in 1978 i went to school in the alps near lake geneva, from time to time fighters would fly from low level near the lake straight up the side of the mountain and over the ski fields, sometimes you could hear them, and not see them until they sprung out of the fog at close to mach 1, unbelievable, ill never forget it
I hope I can see some of that flying when I go to Switzerland next summer on a tour...but I probably won't be lucky enough, especially if they only do those maneuvers at certain times of the year.
Hawker Hunters? (Mk.58) ,DH Vampires? Or Mirage III? I saw a 3 plane formation flight of F/A-18's fly right over my institution a few months ago, close to lake geneva. They are still at it!!!
Stunning, absolutely stunning!!!! Great to see the aircraft at speeds not normally seen at general air displays. Thanks for sharing, terrific stuff!!! Keith.
Incredible showing boys! Got my American heart pounding for sure! And to think of the logistics it takes to get the entire Swiss Air force in one place....just marvelous!
Its neither a logistical feat nor the entire Swiss Air Force - they send a bunch of planes from one of their airbases and 15 minutes later the show is on. 😅
@@Ganiscol Just a little friendly ribbing my guy I didn't really think this was the entire Swiss Air force but I mean....its pretty much most of it 😃🤣🤣 jk jk come on don't line me up for another my dude
Not really a hill, it’s a mountain and it requires some walking to get there. You can do the walk from a nearby funicular station or walk from some lower parking place, in any case walk you must.
It is not an air show, it's a training exercise. They just so happen to tolerate spectators because they can't close the bloody mountain to the public for 2 weeks. If they called that an air show, it would be illegal. You can't have planes flying over people in Europe during air shows, and you are obviously not allowed to use live ammunition.
@@donjones4719 They do fly over your head too, I was up there a few times. In fact it is not avoidable to fly over people, because the terrain. There is also footage from "wild Gärst", the mountain behind the targets.
@@mcgeufer Officially, it's not an air show. But actually it is one. The Swiss aerobatic flight group "Patrouille Suisse", the formation with the nice red F-5 Tigers, would never mix in with a combat training exercise.
The most daring & amazing airshow ever. Truly a rare sight to behold . Fighter jets shooting forth in amazing formation amidst breathtaking mountainous region. The Swedish are a top notch bunch. Maneuvering such tough terrain are beyond ordinary thoughts. Everything about Sweden 🇸🇪 are stunningly & magnificently beautiful, the places, people & atmosphere....now its fighterplanes & raw talents....regal & splendid life indeed.

@@Jflonsn That's because thank God they never had their country invaded or attacked... But history usually shows that an invasion of Switzerland would be too long, too complicated and too costly... Even the Third Reich had planned an invasion of Switzerland "Operation Tannenbaum" and decided to scrap it because of the country's mountainous landscape...And probably other things too...Such as all the secret Swiss bank accounts with Nazi gold and God knows what else... I am not Swiss but I've been there regularly since I was 4 and the one thing that always impressed me is that the people are intensely patriotic, not to mention the fact that after serving in the various branches of the military basically each Swiss citizen remains a reserve soldier until a certain age and they're required by law to keep their weapons at home... Which means that, within days, there would be several millions of people ready to fight... How do I know all that ? It's because I've been to Switzerland thousands of times since I was a kid and I have very close friends there... That said, nobody wants to go to war and I'm sure that the Swiss would rather live peacefully every day going forward...
Yea nobody can harm them, after ww3 the survivors would be the swiss people. But, they are dependent on their neighbours. They profit with no intention to give something back. Without the rest of europe ( end exploiding the financial system) they would be just be some poor mountain people. Sorry but if you don't care for anyone why should anyone care for you.
Thank you so much for these pictures Elwyn, the swiss pilots are really incredible and it's something which' s well known here in France ! I 'ld have liked so much to see them fly on Rafale in these mountains, unfortunately....
@@adbossx1 On sait que le Président US est intervenu personnellement pour que cette vente se fasse, et qu'il y a également eu un important lobbying voire des pressions de ce que l'on appelle le complexe militaro-industriel. A tel point que cela a vraiment fâché les plus hautes autorités françaises, et d'autant plus que cela venait en complément de l'énorme marché perdu par la France des sous-marins pour l'Australie. Il n'empêche que quand on regarde le cahier des charges de la Confédération concernant les besoins et les attentes de ce futur chasseur de l'Armée de l'Air Suisse le Rafale cochait toutes les cases, alors que le F 35 en était loin.

It's because I've been to Switzerland thousands of times since I was a kid and I have very close friends there...
That said, nobody wants to go to war and I'm sure that the Swiss would rather live peacefully every day going forward...
Yea nobody can harm them, after ww3 the survivors would be the swiss people. But, they are dependent on their neighbours. They profit with no intention to give something back. Without the rest of europe ( end exploiding the financial system) they would be just be some poor mountain people. Sorry but if you don't care for anyone why should anyone care for you.
@@Jflonsn That is true... At least they'll still have chocolate to sell...If that makes a difference...
i would say we aren't that patriotic.
Loved the little turbo prop that zipped through (Whatever it was) ....great display, lovely setting, excellent video )

‼️‼️❤️❤️ shivers!!! Love ‼️‼️‼️ thank u for posting ‼️❤️❤️
Really exeptional, it is very beautiful. Merci Elwyn!
10 seconds in the video and shit just got wayyyy too real! Awesome!
Thank you so much for these pictures Elwyn, the swiss pilots are really incredible and it's something which' s well known here in France !
I 'ld have liked so much to see them fly on Rafale in these mountains, unfortunately....
Hey SirDjedj, Swiss Armed Forces Officer here, I can feel you, I wanted the Rafale very badly for our Air Force
En Suisse, beaucoup de gens auraient voulu le Rafale. Il y a certainement eu des enjeux politiques faisant que le F-35 à gagné la manche.
@@adbossx1 On sait que le Président US est intervenu personnellement pour que cette vente se fasse, et qu'il y a également eu un important lobbying voire des pressions de ce que l'on appelle le complexe militaro-industriel. A tel point que cela a vraiment fâché les plus hautes autorités françaises, et d'autant plus que cela venait en complément de l'énorme marché perdu par la France des sous-marins pour l'Australie.
Il n'empêche que quand on regarde le cahier des charges de la Confédération concernant les besoins et les attentes de ce futur chasseur de l'Armée de l'Air Suisse le Rafale cochait toutes les cases, alors que le F 35 en était loin. Et puis revirement de situation en 48H et le F 35 a été préféré.
Peut-être y-a-t'il eu quelques discrets échanges de valises, ou quelques villas ou appartements en Californie ou en Floride ont eu un nouveau propriétaire helvète, allez savoir...
This is now officially on my bucket list!
In most airshows you can literally see the aircraft miles away. Not this one! Great video!
Jersey Airshow is good !
Excellent Video Elwyn. 👍👍🏴🏴
Everything is impressive however that PC-21 stole the show IMO. That is an impressive machine.
And it's a Swiss construction - against import stuff.
