One of the Most Beautiful Fighter Jet Takeoff Sequences I've Ever Seen [4K]

[@dunbar555]

I served in the Swiss air force from 2003 to 2012.. so many memories. So many time on the runway watching these take off. Ive seen those very planes thousands of times, always with the same feelings.

[@dietermuller8625]

Hallo! Ich hab da eine Frage.Was bedeutet eigentlich das "STBY 121.50" auf dem Centerline Tank?

[@c_loud_8700]

121.5 ist eine VHF Notfunkfrequenz. Diese ist auf dem Centertank aufgedruckt um beispielsweise bei einem Luftpolizeieinsatz andere Flugzeuge darauf hinzuweisen, dass auf dieser Frequenz versucht wird, Kontakt aufzunehmen. Darum sichtbar am Tank angebracht, damit dies von einem anderen Flugzeug gesehen wird, falls durch eine Patroullie begleitet oder abgefangen.

[@c_loud_8700]

Same here. 2008 till 2019 😅

[@katarn999]

You mean memories of first hurrying, then waiting, and finally hurrying again...? 😆

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

That F-5 is one of the most beautiful jets!

[@Mr1300SKIPPY]

Agreed.... and the twin seat variant is even nicer !

[@swright5690]

Can’t believe they are still in service

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

@@swright5690 That's one of my all time favorite jets! I'd love to have one. Hell, I'd be happy if I got the energy up to put the damn wings on my N3 Pup. That would be cool too.

[@swright5690]

Interesting how Switzerland and Canada both used F5s and F-18s.

[@cluelessbeekeeping1322]

@@swright5690 As much as I love the F-5, I wish they started with a clean sheet on the F-18, It's not a bad plane, but I don't care for the looks (I'd be a terrible head of company...basing this on solely looks).

[@jimroberts3009]

F-5, a beautiful, sleek aircraft and one of my favourites. Precursor of the F/A 18 Hornet via the Northrop YF-17.

[@alainberset8644]

Le tueur de F14 tomcat😢

[@jimroberts3009]

@alainberset8644 Top Gun! 👍

[@mikehanks1399]

Perfect mix of sun and clouds. Very nice.

[@SonicArtMedia]

Thank you!

[@marcingrzybowski25]

Stunning 👍

[@Rogue-7.62]

Everything the Swiss do is beautiful.

[@KillerKev1961]

This is stunning! Thank you!!!!

[@SonicArtMedia]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@DougBrighTan_o7]

Beautiful snd marvelous takeoff especially the F/A-18C Hornets and F-5E Tiger II 😊

[@Marshal_Dunnik]

The F-5 is the prettiest jet fighter ever made and you can't convince me otherwise

[@matthiasmartin1975]

What about the Su-35 then?

[@shmaknapublar]

I might agree with you if it weren't for the F-20. Growing up around the Houston area, I was a huge fan of the T-38/F-5 platform as a young boy. But I can remember the day that I saw the F-20 on the cover of a magazine at the gas station. Love at first sight! :) Something about that fanny just made it a completely different animal than the F-5.

[@EricBridge-f2r]

F-16 maybe????

[@petracollins8623]

Spectacular, look at those vapor trails.

[@gregw988]

Fuel tank on the F5 is getting near space shuttle size. Beautiful video.

[@SonicArtMedia]

Thank you!

[@F14-talktomegoose]

ART !

[@TheFlightLevel]

Great tracking. Can’t improve on that! Fabulous!

[@dankuettel5063]

Outstanding light!

[@MattsAviationChannel]

Grandiose Aufnahmen! Super Video! 🤩

[@SonicArtMedia]

Danke schön!

[@codeblue9004]

Love my country. 🇨🇭🥰👍

[@oliverr.mentel5562]

Beautiful!

FLY BOYS OUT INTO THE WILD BLUE YOUNDER🎉🎉🎉

[@1986.Mattia]

Bellissimi 👍👍🔝🔝

[@lohikarhu734]

A couple of things: First, nice video work, the F-5 against the sunset colour, super! Second, the "ding-ding-ding..." I sat near the road during a landing, I noticed the control tower "pop up", and noticed the jet🛫 crossing road sign, and the "dinging" like at a railway crossing!😂

[@SandsOfArrakis]

It's more like a runway crossing 😀

[@BommeltjeNL]

Ah yes, the Northrop F-5. We had them too in the Netherlands, the NF-5.

[@peterringier]

At 1:28 the plane passes an 'old' hotel. This hotel was aquired by Chinese (some of which with questionable permit of stay). Perfect location for spying on active duty planes of the Swiss Air Force and, even worse, evaluating/testing new fighter jets.

[@joelriva5424]

It’s not like we do much with our toys…

[@-Loki--]

@@joelriva5424 They were preparing for the arrival of F35s.

[@Hieronoma]

Ri-co-laaaa🎵 Au bon kérosène suisse

[@jeanwalder3541]

Well, hotel was purchased by a Chinese student and run by his parents ! When Swiss authorities realized that they had this beautiful view on the runway and the FA-18 they finally asked a few questions but too late ….Chinese had disappeared !

[@HotelPapa100]

It wasn't about the F/A-18, It was about the F-35 being tested.

[@RLVIDEOS2024]

Very Nice

[@binxbolling]

Why the big fuel tanks? Are they traveling to another country?

[@pixelpeter3883]

And you can stay at a hotel with a view on that runway from your room window (I assume/ hotel visible in the background)

[@hans-uelijohner8943]

The F18 pilots are frustrated, as the little tigers catch them again and again in the moutains, they are way more maneuverable!

[@gedrias5817]

3:10 The rocket at the wingtip is visibly vibrating. Is that normal?

[@Stormrider-Flight]

perfectly normal on that airframe.

[@77space-vt8wi]

9 Nov 2024 No one maintained their squadrons of Northrop Tiger ll F-5s as well as the Swiss. They were well put together by the Swiss in the first place and were virtually new years later when the U.S. Navy wanted all they were avaiable as the Swiss Air Force transitioned to the F-18s. Several countries are still using the F-5E and F-5 for flight training and Air Defense.

[@captain736]

love the Mig-28 takeoff :)

DCS IRL ❤

[@jeanfrancoishernandez3657]

Le pilote du F5 j'espère qu'il a une assurance Vie 😂

[@mikeearls126]

that looks a lot like the T-38 Talon

[@omegapointil5741]

HOW MUCH DID IT COST US?

[@pierrejuillet4]

On entend les cloches des vaches.

[@silverwings1843]

The F-5 was Yeager's favorite Fighter!!!! But::::: How odd to have a Tactical Base in such 3 sided Mountainous Terrain!!!

[@MarcoTedaldi]

Only about one third of Switzerland is more or less flat land... And the mountains provide protection. So during world wars and especially the cold war it made sense. There is even an airfield inside a mountain (but I think they can only start from. there).

[@hpmc1975]

Yeah Dr r also flew the F-20

[@hpmc1975]

I screwed that up

[@spinynorman887]

WAY too much taxiing.

[@ronjdaintree4109]

Wasted 3 mins of data ....getting to the point

[@SonicArtMedia]

Please contact me for a refund on data, or, don't be cheap and pay for an unlimited data plan like the rest of the modern world. 😂

[@peterjarmesty1884]

I don’t believe the Swiss would ever need an air force,army or navy! The accountants would not allow launching of air to air weapons on cost grounds!

[@williwilson569]

Ab 6:45 😍😍
