Sorry chaps, another Swiss Airshow
You must be bored with them by now. This is the amusingly named "FLAB 75" (FLAB being what the Swiss call FLAK, Fliegerabwehrkanone) from Dübendorf. Delay in posting to due a little visit I paid to Rugby from Sunday to Tuesday evening.

Roger Federer formation. Not that it did him any good.
Think that's a near miss report that needs to be filed?

Re: Sorry chaps, another Swiss Airshow
Very nice Toby ..you're on a roll...and we're not cheesed off at all
Being Swiss there is always a splash of colour which is so well set off by their scenery which in these pics was not visible.
Still great shots even if there was no spectacular Swiss scenery to alp you

Hi Garry,
Its pretty flat around this area. This is in fact between Zürich city and Zürich Airport (Kloten) itself. I believe it was once a civilian airfield before becoming military and is now mixed-use.

Bored! not likely, some great shots especially the close up of the parachutist but where's the Crumpet Toby
Cheers,
Roger.

Hi Folks
Toby -
Great pics.
Particularly like that first diamond.
Looks almost like a wrapping paper, or Warhol print.

I've never felt so frustrated....... died so frequently/spectacularly/or needlessly....... yet had so much fun, in a long time.

Re: Sorry chaps, another Swiss Airshow
You're apologising for what reason? Some excellent pictures, of aircraft we would rarely to get to see here.
One complaint though - where are the foxy wingwalkers?

Re: Sorry chaps, another Swiss Airshow
The tasty wingwalkers are likely as not back in Blighty! You guys just need to get out to airshows more often (where else do you expect to see attractive women?)
Re: Sorry chaps, another Swiss Airshow
Great pictures Toby! Educational as well. Taught me to order Viel Zeit for a good beer if I ever go to Switzerland.

"Viel Zeit" translates as "Plenty of time". The Brewer is Falken and their range of beers appears to be here:
