Swiss F-5 Tigers live gun fire during Axalp 

Bonjour du Canada two sounds britttttt craaaaakkk de first sound explosion in the cartridge second sound when the projectille pass the sound barrier on american ground attack airplale the A-10 the third sound when the projectille hit the target (sorry for my poor english)

@@mauriceouellette7514 you put it very eloquently mon 'ami. ^_^

F5 Tiger III op👀👀

It earned it's respect through a number of ways, being so forward thinking in design and having a huge influence on fighter aerodynamic design for decades. First with LERX, leading edge flaps (as opposed to slats), substantial body lift with it's flat bottom. The F/A-18 was itself born out of expanded F-5 design studies, which is reflected in the fuselage configuration.

Jacob Zondag Holy shit there's two of em

Talk to me Goose...

Mav!?! what are you doing??... 0_o Keeping up relations Goose... ~_^

love it.

Ha ha nice :)

cheap too.

You mean The 2nd best feeling 🍆💦👌

@@dnlcast2 you're right, second best after being alone in an F-20 Tigershark

@@dnlcast2 silence, virgin.

But only fly in good weather...

Shoeg4zer Thr sound of music.

Shoeg4zer I WAS GONNA SAY THE SAME WTF!?

The long lost brother of the a 10

Like all modern fighter aircraft,that have similar guns, now? Like the M39,M61 Vulcan, and Mauser BK-27?

A 10 WILL STILL BE KING

Indeed, especially the T-38 which is still in service.

I wish IAI, Dassault, or Northrop-Grumman developed a fighter based off this frame (and improving the frame too). It would have the capabilities of a contemporary 4th gen fighter (maybe competing with SU35s & F18s), and yet be easily maintained.

yes its another spectator view you can go there

@@tankieflanker4119 They DID! It became the US Navy's F18 Hornet.

@@tankieflanker4119 There's the F-20 Tigershark, but no one bought it.

Yeah...😥

agree ...on everything !

Your wish is granted because Switzerland is coast-free!

Yes its good aircraft

Andew70 F-5E mach 1.7 F-5G ( also call F-20) mach 2.0

Small target and easy to maintain. My country used to fly them.

Cap

So do I, so do I. My uncle was an F-5 pilot. When I was a kid, sometimes my uncle took me to look the F-5 from very close distant.

A good looking plane is timeless.

The F-5 is a good little plane that can definitely punch above its weight. It still has a place at the table. But if you're shopping for a new multi-role jet fighter, there's really no reason to not go for its successor instead, the F/A-18, other than cost.

@T38 Talon - The F-5 has always been a twin engine aircraft.

@T38 Talon Brazillian F-5 shot down an F-15 in the Red Flag 08-3 exercise. The F-5 did a good escort job. Their refueling airplane was not shot down in that exercise. They do operate some 55 F-5 EM and FM and retired other 8 to get pieces from. Last modernized by Embraer was delivered in 2013. It will fly till 2020. It will be replaced by Grippen NG.

@@AthosRac ou você é muito antenado nas coisas do Brasil ou você mora no Brasil ou vc é brasileiro

I think that's the rounds hitting target first.

You hear the rounds breaking the sound barier first, then the sound of the cannon that fired them.

It seems as though there are 3 sequences. A soft noise that occurs when you see the blast from the cannon, a second louder brrrt, then the last loudest.

Ah nm. I guess it’s the rounds passing, the cannon firing, then the impacts on the target.

The plane is close to the photographer, so the sound arrives from the aircraft first.

The F-104 was a whole generation of jet fighters earlier. The F-5 actually ejected up.

F-104 and F-5 has trapezoidal wing design but F-5 includes forward LEX to improve vertex generated lift. F-5 later evolved into YF-17 (F-18 prototype) with upper wing mount for extra body lift and longer LEX for improved vertex generated lift. Trapezoidal wing design influenced YF-23, YF-22, F-22A, F-35A and F-35C (larger wing design from F-35A/B models).

That's very different aircrafts. F-104 mainly was an interceptor, when F-5 designed for maneuvering god fights and ground attacks. Simplified, if you need defense against soviet heavy bombers and supersonic jets, you need F-104. F-5 needed for other missions, there's variety of them. That's why F-5 have a lot of carried weapon. Guided missiles, unguided rockets, free diving bombs and napalm tanks, etc.

You can thank Lockheed and crooked politicians for that one.

@@Chastity_Belt, actually the Germans used it primarily in low-level attack. The F-5, certainly a better choice for anything but high altitude interception, first flew about a year after Germany chose the Starfughter. So it was never a possible contender. The more capable F-5E like these Swiss a/c didn't take to the skies until 1972!

I agree, love the little F-5.

Yeah man there are. It’s called Wildgärst, some of the passes up there can be spectacular 😎

Cheers :)

My pleasure bud. Thanks for watching and for the comment ;)

😂😂😂

RoteSchwalbe I see your a man of culture as well

Yep! :D

I agree. Such a pretty fighter. Thanks for dropping by 👍

I’m not a furry i swear or buy the f20 tiger

Yeah. Looks nice. You will never see an f15 pull like that.

A random dog no

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for dropping by :)

Jester is dead!

Sierra MatchKing Maverick fuck up. Goose is dead.

Seinfeld?

SMOK Z A-10 alot better, A-10 can carry alot more bombs, time endurance longer, 30mm cannon

Yes indeed they are.

The firing area is off limits, the top of the mountain being part of the closed sector. This is why the jets fly a very limited path and fire.

is that area public too?

@@siemensohm once a year only, yes.

swiss pilots fly the planes so no worries

At a certain point, you have to imagine it becomes an extension of your body. It sounds cliche, but just as you can get skilled at a video game, pilots get skilled at flight. im sure these guys have thousands, if not tens of thousands of hours in these.

Near Meiringen

Corkscrew downwards turn towards them to get under them strafe to the side a bit and then barrel roll up their ass an drill'em

Yup, in case they have conduct humanitarian work by force! 😂

@@UKAviationMovies 😂

The USAF had a shed load of them Larry. I used to watch them at RAF Alconbury in England as USAF aggressors. Awesome jets! I think the NS Navy used the F models?

@@UKAviationMovies yes, you're right of course. Lemme rephrase that, I meant as operational units. I feel like perhaps a few squadrons of F-20s could have helped get the type established, and since it really was low cost, perhaps help it in foreign sales especially to poorer allied nations. Places like Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Romania, anybody who's going to struggle to afford even an F-16. At least it would have been something, and it was fast, faster than the F-16. Maybe the better option for a country that's going to have to shoot a few missiles and immediately run away or eject? Lol.

@@larrythorn4715 Ahhh yes, I totally agree with you there. The F-5 is a cool little jet, the US aggressors were ace but to see some frontline F-5s or F-20s would've been great. The Swiss ones are not going to be around much longer so they're going to become a rare jet pretty soon :(

Let's not get carried away.

😂😂😂😂

Cheers bud

Rodrigo Basualto It's been a while since you've seen the movie, huh?

@@Guarwave What? Are you suggesting Top Gun never happened?

_"No one's been this close before!!!"_

@@brandondaniels9471 Affirmative.

Northrop build planes to last. To be easily maintained and to work hard.

Why? Are you worried about an invasion from Guatemala?

GARY HILSON yeah, never in the States would this happen

GARY HILSON yeah, never in the States would this happen

It wasn't an air show...I don't think the people were supposed to be there

They are. It takes place once a year at the Axalp range, people actually walk for over one hour to get the best "seats". Usually the range is closed to the public.

Never in the States would what happen? Military aircraft firing their weapons on a range or the public in close enough proximity to see it? You can, in fact see A-10s firing their guns in Arizona at Gila Bend. See here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MCoaotUpy2M.html
