THE GREATEST AVGEEK SHOW ON EARTH: SWITZERLAND’S AXALP LIVE-FIRE DEMO

Axalp is, in my humble opinion, very likely the best air show on earth, although the Swiss Air Force will be quick to tell you that it’s not really an airshow, rather, it’s a live-fire training exercise to which the public is invited. It’s officially named Fliegerschiessen Axalp, which translates to Air Force Live Fire Axalp.
It’s an exercise that’s held on top of a mountain in the Swiss Alps, uphill from the ski town of Axalp. Attendance requires getting to Switzerland, a long drive, a bus ride that’s almost as exciting as the show itself, a chairlift ride, then a hike up the last 1,000 vertical feet.

I want to thank the Swiss Air Force for fantastic flying. we got two Day's of glorious weather but lost the last Day due to poor weather! I love your country and will return to Axalp next year. cross fingers!!

The only air show in the world where the spectators are higher that the aircraft. Spectacular.

As a Finn = als eene Finnische Bube:
Love you guys. You've got the mountains. We've got the forest. Keep your quality & style.

Note to campers: Bright orange tents are not recommended in this area.

Wow, those soldiers hanging from the chopper and flying off to the distance are fearless. Bravo!

All I can hear is the alarm in the cockpit -
“Terrain, terrain, terrain”

Danke für die Grossartige Flugshow Aufnahme. Die kleine 🇨🇭SCHWEIZ🇨🇭 zeigt denn grossen Welt wie ein Flug Show geht💪💪.

[Gee]

The manœuvre at 1:16 is literally incredible… the amount of skill required for that is unbelievable 🇨🇭🇨🇭

(Look at all the fast food workers in the comments trying to explain how easy it is to do this because they have 100 hours in Microsoft flight simulator lol)

That inverted pull back on the stick over the peak of the mountain was straight out of Top Gun Maverick! Incredible!! The Swiss pilots and this videographer really impressed me, well done.

in 1978 i went to school in the alps near lake geneva, from time to time fighters would fly from low level near the lake straight up the side of the mountain and over the ski fields, sometimes you could hear them, and not see them until they sprung out of the fog at close to mach 1, unbelievable, ill never forget it

[davidbarnard]

I don't think I have ever seen a real live fire demo at an airshow. Amazing!

[DafyddPhillips]

The panning at 0:34 is insane.
Nailed it !! ✈️👌

[ronnieritter]

Bad....ass!!! As an American, I salute you guys!! Wow!

[CorbinAce]

Now that my friends is an Air Show. What a spectacular display of force and superb flying skills.
The Swiss always surprise the world of how a country can project a low profile and yet they
occasionally surprise the world of how they are a force to be reckoned with.
Go Switzerland!💪
They prove it's the quiet ones ya have to look out for.
From America!

One of the best things i have ever seen in my entire life. It was mind-blowing.

[Psyopcyclops]

Wow this is incredible! This is absolutely the best air show footage I’ve ever seen, without a doubt! Thank you so much Elwyn.

[Thetequilashooter]

Better than any airshow that I have seen, and I have seen quite a few. The turning ability of the F-18 is freaking impressive.

[ProfessorPesca]

I love the smell of Toblerone in the morning

[rossbrunson]

Love you videos, as the ex-Ground Forces Liaison between the USAF and US Army, I grew to absolutely love the ripping sound of great fighters passing overhead, this is MY KIND of ASMR.... Bravo for putting these up.

[DerbJd]

The best place for an air show. Hands down.

[waddap]

I just watched top gun and this video perfectly encapsulates the moves/stunts we saw in the movie!! and now i can share it to my friends who saw the movie but had no idea what they were seeing was real, they thought the scenes were CGI-ed

Bravo thumbs up for this video!!
