Meiringen ''Wiederholungskurs" 30APR - 2MEI

Post by Triple Nickel »

Hi,

I was at Meiringen during the ''Wiederholungskurs 2012''. Below is a selection of shots wich I took during my 2,5-day stay.

The weather didn't always play ball, but overall it was nice.

On with the photos:

1. An F/A-18C takes off in drizzling rain from RWY28:
Image

2. Touchdown of an F-5E ''Tiger'' on Runway 10, with a little bit of vapour on the wings.
Image

3. Two F/A-18's returning from a mission in light rain.
Image

4. An F-5E taxies out over a bridge. Pilot has spottet us :)
Image

5. The 11 staffel "Tiger" taking off from RWY10.
Image

6. An F/A-18 with it's caracteristic vapour.
Image

7. On the second day the weather was improving, an Hornet taxies to the cavern's over the longest taxiway I have ever seen.
Image

8. An F-5 follows a Hornet...
Image

9. Switserland, Meiringen, a great place!
Image

10. Touchdown!! After another WK2012 mission!

I think the damp weather actually increases the atmosphere in your pictures. Where exactly is the small bridge located?

Very impressive Ron!
Nr4 is awesome, where can you normally catch an F-5E on a small bridge? Looks like it rolled into the mountains... :mrgreen:

Very nice! The bad weather gives them a nice atmosphere. I was there on 3 and 4 mei. The weather was great those days. I will make another topic for the pictures.
