Back then I said that some day I would go and see the public shooting training on the Axalp. The Axalp is 2250 m above sea high up in the Swiss mountains. This year I finally managed to get there, and here are some of the pictures I have taken.
Eurocopter EC635 - while some special guests have been flown up, the rest of the ~7.500 people had to climb for hours, and I don't talk tracking trails!

Two F/A-18 coming in with flares



Since the F-5 will be decommissioned soon this is most likely one of the last big displays together


The paratroopers were jumping from two Pilatus PC-6



Two Super Pumas on a fire fighting mission


While the Super Puma is going off, the Eurocpter shows a mountain SAR mission





A Super Puma releasing flares and doing some impressive mountain climbing








F/A-18 Solo Display with low pass, flares, climb display and more













The Patrouille Suisse giving another of her stunning shows































The Super Pumas coming for a final great display



I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did!
