Wow those are very nice shots.
It looks like this was a very great airshow.

When looking to the pictures did all teams somekind of flyby?

Best Regards,
Yvo

This was indeed one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life

, flight displays of the Rafale , Eurofighter , Gripen , Super Hornet , Mirage 2000 , Agusta 129 , Dutch and Belgian F16 , ... ..at the end of the show there was a very nice surprise , the mass take off of 5 teams which were called the "Patrouille des patrouilles" , very impressive seeing all those teams taking off in less than 20 minutes , then after the Rafale's display they did 2 mass fly by's , the teams in that fly by were the Patrouille Suisse , Red Arrows , Team 60 , Frecce Tricolori and the Patrulla Aguila.
Congrats to the Swiss air force for this very , very nice event , if there could be every year such a nice airshow

Superb pics, Fabke. I like very much the "Patrouille des Patrouilles", which could have been even nicer if each team had shown their national colours.

That's true , but we can't have it all

, all by all a very nice airshow and I'm sure we won't see such a nice event very soon again , this should be the first time so much teams fly together or am I wrong

If only we could have such an events in Belgium

No I'm afraid not , I don't think the Swiss air force organises many airshows , I think but I'm not sure that they organise every year some kind of open doors

Hi,

Very nice pictures. I was in Payerne and I will post pictures soon.

To answer some questions, this airshow is not an annual meeting.
The next air show in Switzerland will take place in Sion in 2007. I think, but I'm not sure, it will be organised by Swiss Air Force!

Best regards!

8O I am convicted, the airshow at Payerne wasn't worth half of it's so intensively appreciated and recognized air & static displays.
In my eyes the succes of this event is more related to an old swiss patriotic and occidental emotional "couronnement" on what the average swiss mentality has unafortunately been enduring since disappearment of the iron courtain, like as the airshow had been stolen to belong to a kind of occidental clan airshow...

Well as most interested cityzens would have forgotten the existence of high rated planes as the su-27 variant combat aircrafts in aerial displays there wasn't a glimpse to make possible comparisons between international aircraft categories, themore there where only few eastern airplatforms like a static hungarian MIG-29 and a Mil Mi 24 "Hind", and finally to add that the only eastern jets to fly on display were some blue Aero Albatros L-39 or somewhat else which suggested more to the public they had been assembled by a swiss watch company than by a former Warsaw Pact country!
