Swiss Air Force - Hornets and Tigers RC11

Post by FE-CF »

As every years the annual refresher courses took place at Sion AB for three weeks. This is an overview of what you could see in this period. F/A18C-D Hornets and F5E-F Tigers can be observed during those three weeks. Actually there are only a few photos of Tigers in this set because I was not able to be at the right place at the right moment. In fact I was at work during the time they were flying. I tried to catch some Hornets in night flight but at 8.30pm it was completely dark so pretty difficult to manage with conditions.

Here is the last week's shots.
