Awesome video. I got chills when the F-18 went to after burner.

Strange, when you visit the Swiss airforce site, they don't show Mirage III's as part of thier national inventory.

F-5's keep showing up, which is funny considering that the airframe is probably about 30 years old, and the Canadian forces used them as thier primary interceptor until the CF-18's came along.

Great cheap little aircraft with a limited ordinance load.
