Laurius Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hi there, I wasn't aware of that such an event could exist and I'm really amazed that real ammo could be fired on a shooting range so close from a public audience. :eek: Hey you Swiss pilots, you know your job for sure! And needless to say, everything about your playground also :thumbup: Nice vid and thanks for sharing. Unfortunatly and although I'm close to your conutry, I won't be able to attend next week, but take note for 2013 ! Great demo !!

Unfortunatly and although I'm close to your conutry, I won't be able to attend next week, but take note for 2013 ! You should definitely plan it next year, you are only 4 hours away. Take pictures, lots of pictures...please! I will take pictures.. hope to get some good ones.. depends if I get a good spot, weather and well.. my old camera: the zoomiest objective I got is 55-250 mm.. Also this year besides the F-18, and F-5 the new (controversial) acquired Gripen will appear.

I have a 70-300, which isn't much better. To get bigger or faster sends you way too far into the four digit price tags. I know what you mean about weather and vantage point. I will look forward to what you get anyway.
