AXALP F18 HORNETS LANDING IN THE STUNNING MEIRINGEN AIRFIELD - 4K

In my opinion The most picturesque airfield in the world. Meiringen is one of three main airbases of the Swiss Air Force. It is situated in an alpine valley of the Aar river. Like something out of Gotham City you can hear the jets firing up inside their caves in the hillside and taxiing across the public roads through the barriers. On this day we captured some hornets that had been out on a training sortie up in the range at Axalp.

Beautiful backgrounds, beautiful planes, beautiful landing techniques, beautiful camerawork.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks Tom. 👍

[@RameenFallschirmjager]

What a sight to behold! Nothing can beat this. Great aircrafts in beautiful scenery! Thanks for sharing this mesmerizing experience with us.

[@pal7252]

Wow. Did you see that back drop when the jet was taxing down the runway? That waterfall was awesome. 😃

[@OH.A.M.]

Wow! The surroundings and the mountain view is just spectacular to see the Hornets land. Thanks for the time and dedication you do to show us all your videos. Respect my friend!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you!,, appreciate your kind words.

[@MetaliCanuck]

What I really liked was the Cows and shit just chilling lol.

[@amcds2867]

Amazing shots! I prefer the look of this legacy Hornet to the Super Hornet. What a pleasure to watch them touch down on the runway.

[@ElwynR]

What a stunning place 😍 and its nearly time to do it again 😏

[@DafyddPhillips]

Can’t wait elwyn ✈️✈️✈️🇨🇭👌

Axalp 2 years in a row...i'm jealous! I'll be watching from the states this year. Awesome footage as always and thanks!

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

Absolutely beautiful !!!... Well done !!!... What a sound !!!... Keep up the AWESOME work. 👍🏻

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you.

[@ianprice2298]

What an amazing place, and a great look at the landing gear on the F-18, built strong for carrier duty!

[@17cmmittlererminenwerfer81]

Those pilots know their stuff. Beautifully flown.

[@johnlong8536]

You never disappoint Mr. Phillips ! Thank you!

[@johnbmx4christ]

Beautiful shots man. It's amazing how loud f18s are for their size. Thank you so much for the video.

[@puirYorick]

I've been to general aviation airstrips where they need to hold traffic for planes to land but never front line military jets. This is so cool.

[@hollywinsman9464]

The Touch n Go was done to perfection. Very nice!!!!!!

[@dgax65]

That is an absolutely beautiful location for aviation photography. Even a normal takeoff or landing looks like a low level run through the mountains.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

if you have not heard it enough... YOU have the best flight\flybys on KZbin!!!! THANKS :)

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you,, appreciated. 😎👍

[@victormanuelpolanco922]

Wish there was a 💕 button to hit for every single upload of yours in KZbin. Stunningly gorgeous birds the Hornets, a pleasure to behold from up front just moments before touchdown. The 2- seater touch and go was smoother than silk Keep looking forward to your work in print form. Look no further for the first purchase of it.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you victor 😎

[@jeff9104]

Great stuff DP, beautiful country !

[@vitaliyvyntu4566]

Hello from Ukraine

[@gregparrott]

Whoa! Take-offs and landings will never be 'routine' deep within the confines of those mountains! BTW: The ending in some of your videos of two F-35's, one passing immediately overhead, with the one behind abruptly turning is still my favorite. I think that did that specifically for you.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks Gregory. Appreciate your kind words.

[@tanyacashler7835]

Your work is spectacular, absolutely phenomenal! Like I"m right there, thank you

[@eliaschonps5113]

Muy buenos videos! Saludos desde Buenos Aires Argentina 🇦🇷

[@DafyddPhillips]

Gracias

[@disculpateurdifferentiel4416]

This is typical Switzerland. The territory is too small to have airports far away, so roads are crossing the runaways, chalets are built close and sometime you can see cows grazing. It is fun to stop to the barrier and see the airplane passing very close. You have a similar situation in Payerne

[@kimmckay8610]

What a beautiful location ❤

[@davidcole333]

Really nice! Grat footage.

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks David.

[@planestrainswildlife]

Superb footage Dafydd, it's an absolutely beautiful place, topped off with the hornets 👌 still on my places to visit list 👍 ATB Andy

@@DafyddPhillips I wish, my R7 has arrived plus the car is swallowing up money at a rate of knots, this'll be one for next year I think 👍 Enjoy, I'll be watching from here 👍 Bills are like busses, non arrive for ages then multiple turn up one after the other 😂🤣

Great image and information

[@hamshackleton]

Nice capture of scenery and aircraft. I hope those powerlines are further away than the camera makes them appear!

[@DafyddPhillips]

It’s a stunning place. Compression makes the cables look closer than they actually are.

[@coma13794]

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thank you.

[@abcjelly]

i like👍 how 🇨🇭switzerland builds their airports, airfields, airbases as just like a public parking lot. unlike other countries builds airports like a prison if yk what i mean, a lot of walls, fences, barbed wires surrounding the airfield. great captures btw

[@charlybabbet9362]

omg my friend this is realy A INSANE VIDEO, so awesome the BACKGROUND,oh boy what a very nice video. BTW i where away for a while for work,did not have much time for online stuff.sorry for that, OH PS: KIND OF FUNNY TO HEAR THE DUTCH GUY TALK SOMEWHERE BEHIND YOUR CAMERA,LOL. TALKING ABOUT WHAT KIND OF ZOOM HE WILL USE;uhhh 500mm LOL.

Awesome! From today?

[@Properkunt]

Can not wait for this!! Unfortunately the chair lift has sold out! Does anybody know how long it takes to walk to the viewing point from the giessbach hotel?

[@DafyddPhillips]

Can’t wait myself!! We skipped the ski lift last year on the way back down and took us an hour. You’ll Need to get the shuttle bus from brienz also.

[@ringbimmer]

Dream weather coming up tuesday-thursday

[@Properkunt]

Can’t wait lads, hell of drive mind, hopefully it be worth it!

[@quizels0695]

what? Bullshit, the chair lift is free no? As long as you got a ticket the chair lift is free

[@thomasfriedlin5912]

It takes you 4 1/2 hours to walk up - 1500m up

[@billreal76]

That head-on shot showing the air turbulence was stunning! Do you know the elevation of that airfield?

[@DafyddPhillips]

Thanks bill. The elevation is 595metres above sea level.

[@marcogalimberti5846]

Hello congratulations for this beautiful video I wanted to ask you something in your photographic level is it better to have a 70-200 mm or a 150 600 mm and then with what shutter speed do you take the photos? Thank you

[@josephnewburgh8531]

Wasn't there a video from this place with jas-39's Davydd?

[@DafyddPhillips]

I’ve not seen one from recent years but very possible.

[@jamesfenton3751]

Nice landings, curious why the 121.5 is painted on the drop tank. This is the emergency freq every pilot memorizes early in training, is this directed at support troops somehow?

[@ericgirardet1848]

It’s used during what they call Hot Mission when intercepting other airplane.

[@jamesfenton3751]

@@ericgirardet1848 Ahh, that makes sense now, thanks!

Where can I get copies of the photos of those jets?
