1969912 0 #1 December 25, 2007 Swiss AF Hawker Hunter flying low in Alps. While the rest of this video is good, fwd to 2:40 and aircraft flys at low level up and over the top of the Matterhorn following a ridge. Me likes it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDbMCM_2Zuc I'm trying to find a hi-res version of the video. Anyone know where to find one? Nice (YMMV) soundtrack is ERA Ameno.

1969912 0 #3 December 25, 2007 Quoteonly found this.. Thanks! Found that last night. The video was originally posted there, but it's low-rez like youtube. I know it's out there somewhere. That Matterhorn climb was pretty cool, eh?

1969912 0 #7 December 25, 2007 re: Para Center No. Never heard of it before. When you posted about the good view of the Alps/Matterhorn when you jumped in Ticino, I googled Ticino because I didn't know what it was (Southern Swiss Canton.) Then wondered if a DZ in the area had cool pics of the Alps...... Basically bored and screwing around. Anyway, it must be really cool to see the Alps like that.

virgin-burner 1 #15 December 26, 2007 they're out of service since 1994. we got hornets now. cant really tell by the clip, i'm sure there's a fanatic or two that own a private hunter now. would be ex-airforce pilots anyway, and thats the terrain they're training in, so its not the first time for sure.“Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.
