Rockin’, top-gun aerial movie-making of the Swiss Air Force at play in the Alps. Mirage IIIs, F-5s, and F-18 Hornets burn down the sky. Will get your heart pounding.

UPDATE MaryAnn, a commenter at OpFor, posted this: "Video reminds me of a time a few years back skiing on a glacier in Switzerland when one of them flew up from *below* out of nowhere and then over us so close we could see the pilot in the cockpit. I ended up flat on my back looking up at the empty sky."

The boys at Op-For are having fun ridiculing Iran’s new (old) fighter, said to be better than an F-18. But the consensus is those tail feathers are merely attached to a Vietnam-era F-5. An F-22 Raptor wouldn’t need to come closer than five miles to shoot it down. But I suppose when you expect the return of a major religious figure from the dead, jet fighter performance isn’t the point of your war.
