Swiss Air Force F/A-18C Hornet - from Fliegerstaffel 17 "Falcons" - rockets skywards during it display at Koksijde AFB (arrival day for Air Show 2011).
these Swiss Hornets were based in Laage for some weeks in August 2003 to conduct DACT with the German MiG-29s - one of those can be seen being towed in the background.
While in the back of the Skyvan over Belgium, we got intercepted by these 2 Swiss Hornets... for a photoshoot. What an experience! Thanks to Eric Coeckelberghs!
