Hi

Spent some time in Switzerland during the last wiederholungskurs at Meringen.
With enough action by the different type of the Swiss Air Arms and time to try some other spots then the usual.

All in all a enjoyable time spend at Meringen, sorry for the big post just to many to choose from









































Thanks for looking.

Regards Ronald.

Like these very much, great variety. Thanks for sharing them.

Rare shot of one of the two Hugo Wolf F-18 sims in that last photo!

Great set of shots. Nice to see F-5s and the great view from high above the base. Really interesting to see the Hugo Wolf Sim.

Hugo Wolf sim never heard of that before or seen.
What's used for? It's not a firefighting trainingsaid although it looks it used for that in the picture.
Second one at Payerne?

Great shots. Love the place. Have to go back soon....

It's a rescue trainer, it's basically an F-18 with concrete for engines. Weighs the same as a Hornet, electronically it's a Hornet (fully working cockpit, etc) and provide reduce services the ability to train on a "live" jet without using an actual aircraft. They don't seem to set them on fire or cut them though!

Meiringen seems to have grown into your local Ron. Especially since we don't get to go where we wanted to be this summer.... Glad you made it back in one piece from the gallery

Nice set RF104G. Great place to take pictures. Seems you went round all the good spots.
Love the ones from above the caverne.
