I can't think of a nicer place to photograph helicopters. Although their mission - demo with bambi-bucket over Axalp - was completed, the pilots were very friendly and manoeuvred their heli into nice photographic positions, once they had noticed us at one
Swiss Air Force "Tigers" - leaving their secured shelter in the mountains - on the taxiway at Meiringen AFB on the practice day before the 2005 Axalp "Fliegerschiesen" show.
Real rescue - by a Swiss Air Force Alouette III - of an unlucky hiker on the slopes of Axalp, just after the 2005 air show (so, for the people in the neighborhood, this was a very nice extra...).
