  • Arguably the greatest air show of force on the planet ???. If you know of better or a similar one then put it in the comments and I'll check it out.
    Keep watching over the next few weeks as I'll be uploading all the other demonstrations from the mountain.

    The original designers of the Northrop YF-17 Cobra and early prototypes of the McDonnell Douglas F-18A Hornet in the late 1970's must be very proud of what their aircraft went on to become.

    • @Steve_Hayden
      @Steve_Hayden Před rokem

      The funny thing is that the YF-17 lost or to the YF-16. Thank God the Navy was there during the competition/demos

    • @TheHawk1202
      @TheHawk1202 Před rokem +1

      Fun fact, the YF17 design comes from the F5 Tiger. Knowing that the YF17 lead to the F18 hornet that means that the F5 is a bit like the Grandfather of the F18 and both are still flying in the Swiss Air Force.

Here they are called Tigre ll, they have already completed 40 years of service and will be given Low in a few more years, but they are still in perfect condition and modernized to almost F-16 standards, greetings.-

When they finished we had a private air show rolls loops low low passes sound barrier smashed and to finish off they at, no kidding, about 100ft ripped past and at the bridge wing stood the two jets on their arse straight-up rolling out of sight. Keep up the great footage.

    I was in San Fran. for fleet week, I remember walking about city hearing jets ahead, but seeing nothing. I thought to myself that how crazy an AO must be from the ground; if you heard those engines and lived , you lucky lol. At home I lived under a flight line for aircraft that did the Football games fly over after the anthem. I would always be grilling at 1pm to see them fly over. Many a time it was A-10 Hogs. So close you can read, see rivets and pilot.

    • @johnc2438

      It was October 1987, and my wife and I were on our first trip to Europe. We chose to drive around Switzerland for week 1 because of the mix of languages and cultures -- and the gorgeous scenery and lovely small towns and villages. Apparently, the Swiss have many military exercises at that time of year. Outside of Chur, we stopped at a local gas station to refuel. At the next pump, a Swiss army 4x4 pulled up, a couple of soldiers got out and refueled their jeep-like transport. Biggest difference from our car: the Swiss vehicle was equipped with a nice recoilless gun (about 105mm) on a swivel mount. Imagine seeing that vehicle in your rear-view mirror on the highway -- would clear traffic in an instant! Later, we pulled into a small hamlet but had to thread our way around a military checkpoint. The Swiss had turned the village into a strong point -- HQ troops in military vehicles in the central plaza while others ringed the town taking up defensive positions. A day or so later, we pulled into Andermatt only to find military convoys moving through town and taking up positions in the hills. Was like being on a giant movie set! We had coffee and cakes and at a café and took in the show before moving on to take a car train through the mountains to Brig. Loved it.
