I've been to Meiringen on Thursday and Friday. A first, terrific experience, I must say!
I don't know if "Wiederhohlungs kurzuz" is spelled right, but what I do know is, that there was many flying activity!
We've had two days of good weather. On the first day, there were clouds in the afternoon but that makes shooting into the light easier.
Here are my photographs:
1. In the morning we had to find the spots yet so we stood against the light. But the vapor turned out to be nice on this one.
2. This is a typical Meiringen photo I must say.
3. Nice surprise, this PC-6.
4. If there is so many activity, there is room for some panning otherwise it would be just another landingshot.
5. As mentioned earlier, the clouds came on the first day but that made shooting this on possible.
6. The Super Puma came in and went very fast again.
7. This pictures shows what Meiringen is all about: (almost) no fences and everything lives on in Unterbach.
8. They changed runway on a regular basis but that delivered different shots as well.
9. This is what you hope for. Banking shortly after take-off.
10. The EC635 flew on both days but only on the second day, at 16.47LT, we had him within range.

Thanks for the nice comments gentlemen!
Here's a little update:
11. The bridge on the end of the taxiway
12. A Hornet touch down.
13. This is as close as you can come without breaking any rules: 24mm on a 1.3 crop body.
