Look down! F/A-18 Hornet operation down in the valley at Swiss Air Force Meiringen Air Base

[@Perry_dAccard]

I love the park bench right beside the taxiway. You can sip a coffee and enjoy the quiet as well as the occasional F/A-18 cruising by.

So this video was shot from a mountainside next to the airfield?

[@RogerHJorg]

Yes, mountains to your left, to your right and to your back. ... and a lake to your front. If I remember correctly, the US pilots refused to land on this airport ("impossible to land in such a narrow valley") when they delivered the planes to the Swiss Airforce. But that may have been a other airport or even the plane generation before the F/A-18.

How did you Film this

[@eub332]

There are mountains surrounding the area and some almost vertical rock faces next to the airfield - it's filmed from up there.
