Aircraft and aiport photos are sorted separately. Airport photos always shown after aircraft photos.

J-3049 @ LSMJ - Turtmann used to be a fine airbase to take pictures. Nice backgrounds, great aircraft and good access to the photo spots.
J-3049 @ LSMJ		 J-3024 @ LSMI - Ready for take off. The barrier in the back is used to close a public road during flight operation.
J-3024 @ LSMI		 J-3006 @ LSMF - Mollis used to be one of the fighter bases used for exercises only. It was quite compact and easily accessible for taking pictures. Nowadays it is only used by helicopters for three weeks a year.
J-3006 @ LSMF
J-3006 @ LSMJ - Turtmann was an airfield with a strange lay out with a public road between the runway and the taxiway. Note there is no fence between the aircraft and the truck. The runway can be seen in the background. Unfortunately Turtmann was closed in 2003.
J-3006 @ LSMJ		 J-3068 @ AXALP - You can clearly see the blast deflectors of the guns are opened during the strafing run on the targets.
J-3068 @ AXALP		 J-3063 @ AXALP - High speed run over the Axalp targets.
J-3063 @ AXALP
J-3068 @ AXALP - Another spectacular vapor effect during the Axalp demo.
J-3068 @ AXALP		 J-3094 @ LSMP - This Tiger wears the badge of FPlAbt 3. These markings were applied in 2003 during the last refresher course at Turtmann.
J-3094 @ LSMP		 J-3089 @ LSMP - The aircraft of the Patrouille Suise do fly operational missions as well. This one just returns from one.
J-3089 @ LSMP
J-3062 @ LSMP - seen on its home base Payerne
J-3062 @ LSMP		 J-3082 @ AXALP - During the Axalp demo the Patrouille Suise made this low pass in front of the public.
J-3082 @ AXALP		 J-3068 @ LSMP - The sun is nicely low in the later months of the year giving this lovely warm light.
