Jet Fighters

Hello guys,

I have the chance (some will rather say it’s a nightmare) to live in a city which has a military airport. So everyday I can hear and see FA-18 jet fighters passing by over my head. As I don’t live too close to the airport, it’s something I really enjoy and I don’t feel disturbed by the sound of the jet fighters engines.
Sometimes I drive 5 minutes to the airport to have a close look at them taking off and landing.

Last but not least, the F5-Tiger of the “Patrouille Suisse” perform their training here some days throughout the year. They fly over the airport to do some amazing figures but don’t take-off and land here.

Here are a few pictures I took last year.
Taken with Nikon D850 + 500mm /f5.6 lens.













Thanks for watching.
Best regards 
Fabio

We had a cool little military parade yesterday in Belgium, including a series of fighters in the sky (10x F16 with national colours smoke and a lonely F35, the sound of which is always amazing!) but I am glad I do not live near an airport - military or ci...

How they fly is just ballet. I do not life next to the airport, but i have no difficulties when a plain fly above my house. I have no difficulties when the government order a bunch of jet fighters for defending my country.

Thanks for sharing Fabio! This is how my passion for aircraft started, I come from a town near where the fighter pilot school was. Seeing jets flying over my home every day gave me the bug! Best, E.
