Superbase Meiringen
Hi all,
Spent a few days at the fabulous base at Meiringen in Switzerland to get some photos of the AXALP participants. Luckily there was a contingent of F-5 Tigers based to play with the Hornets.
A great place for aviation photography with no fences to contend with and a fantastic mountain backdrop.
Enjoy.

Re: Superbase Meiringen
Excellent shots. Love the second Cougar shot.
Re: Superbase Meiringen
Lovely set of shots. Meiringen is wonderful for access and backgrounds especially with the snow and the Autums colours. It's really hard to pick a specific shot as they are all spot-on but 2, 3 5 and 11 just have that something extra.
Re: Superbase Meiringen
Lovley stuff Nice to see some markings appearing on the Hornets; looks like each Staffel's getting a special, and never knew the team had their own Porter - very smart!!!
You caaan't trust the system... Maaan!
Re: Superbase Meiringen
Excellent stuff! Love the first shot! Very moody!

Re: Superbase Meiringen
A lovely set of shots Ian, the back drops are stunning!
Definitely a place to add on the "to do list."

Re: Superbase Meiringen
Great shots, absolutely love the landing Hornet ( from the port side ) and the PC-6 climbing away! Must give AXALP a visit myself some time in the near future!
Re: Superbase Meiringen
Some very good shots in here! Must spend some more time at the base next visit.
Re: Superbase Meiringen
Quality stuff Ian. The Puma with "streamers" is especially nice.
