If you get a chance to see an F-35A and a F/A-18C in action, you have to take it – especially if you get to see them in the Swiss Alps!

The natural backdrop that the Alps provide makes everything these planes do better than normal. Spectators at the venue were treated with several close passes, plenty of aerial maneuvers, and a whole lot of firing demonstrations.

The best moments were definitely at 2:20

9:20

And especially at 10:40.

It looked like the Swiss Air Force came prepared for their target practice. Every second of this video is jam-packed with cool maneuvers, beautiful scenery, and breathtaking live shooting performed by the newest jet fighters in Sweden. That’s a day well spent!
