Zigermeet 2019

Post by boff180 »

Hi All,

In the run up to this small but action packed show, I had been understandably quite excited as I knew what sort of scenery I would be taking photos in. However the night before I travelled, I lost my dog - my best pal, heartbroken and on the recommendation of my parents I still travelled to Switzerland to have some alone time and to get lost in the experience.

An experience which was sadly then made even more difficult by BA not loading my luggage on my flight which then took 30 hours to find me, even though it arrived in Switzerland 6 hours after I did.

Anyway the show itself is located at the old Hunter base in Switzerland, surrounded on three sides by mountains and with still a small number of operational mountain shelters which the show uses for storing military fast jets - that all happened to be competing for the F-5 replacement contract at the time.

Anyway, here's a few shots from a great little show.
