The Swiss Air Force demonstration at the Ebenfluh Shooting Range,
mostly referred to as Axalp because of the nearby village, is a unique possibility to see jet fighters doing live gun shooting. Together with the impressive scenery the demo is an experience that one will never forget. The shooting range is located at an altitude of 7365 feet (2242m) in the middle of the Swiss Alps. Most impressive show is always the life fire demonstration were 6 -8 F-5E Tiger II of Fliegerstaffel 8 (FighterSquadron8) fly a defined course on up to 4 different targets located around the spectator area. This is followed by a similar demonstration of F-18C Hornets. You can even see the fire at the target area! This is a 360° panorama best viewed with Google Earth or here http://www.360cities.net/search/axalp |

This is my first attempt at using a Canon SX10IS on a Gigapan.
How do you think it turned out? Zoomed in all the way to 560mm equiv. Gigapan camera tray hacked to make the SX10IS fit. Info on the stadium follows. Taken from the top of an adjacent parking structure. http://www.spanossportscomplex.com/home.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hornet_Stadium http://www.hornetsports.com/sports/football/StadiumInfo.asp |
