Nothing better than a airshow in a tight Swiss valley. Running a competition for the future fighter aircraft also certainly helped to bring up participants. Rafale clearly took top honours giving a truly shocking demonstration of its performance.

Great set! I think the Viggen is my favourite, or is it the Hind, or it the....

Your panning skills are amazing!

[MUSTANG]

This Viggen video is worth a watch....lands near the end, sticks it in reverse then takes off again.

Ye Gods these are good! Absolutely superb set.

[p2philip]

Awesome, first one is a stunner! Also jealous of the chopper shots, did not manage to shoot with such low shutter speeds - hats off to you!

[Rick]

Cracking set, the shockwave one is superb.
The Swiss certainly know how to put on an airshow

[bigcrow]

Stunning set of images, but the first is...

[Airwolfhound]

Spectacular, loving the hind shots

Thanks to all of you for your replies. Mollis is a very nice show and I recommend that you make it there next time around, which is probably in 2021 or 2022. Next time I will try that clearing up on the mountain on the other side.
Guess I was just lucky with the first one capturing those shockwaves in the right moment. As for the panning shots: Rest assured, trying to get these means setting the camera to the highest frame rate possible, trying to fokus one point and keeping it steady but still accepting that 95% are just blurred in one way or another - but it is the 5% good ones that I am after.

Cheers,
Joerg
