The noise from these jets went right through your heart!
It was a clear, sunny day and this was taken with a zoom lens.
See the pilot as he flew vertically into the blue sky!
Oops, a near thing!
View over Lugano city.
Taken with a zoom lens. They are flying over a mountain top.
Skilled Swiss pilots fooling around.
They literally flew over our heads.
If you had a ruler, you would be hard pressed to find one of them out an inch!
There was four in the bed and the little one said...
The Swiss pilots showed us all indeedy!
Hello down there.
This way or that way!
Bear in mind they are flying at great speed and high up in the sky!
Look at me, look at me!
This big majestic white German plane was like a big beautiful bird.
Noisy.
Bear in mind that those blades are rotating!
What's a sea plane to do but land in Lake Lugano. And that was all it did really!
Le French Pilots. Very snappy.
Vive le France.
Clever boys.
Zoom lens. Thought you would like the colours.
Big and noisy. Trust me on this one. I had my fingers in my ears.
This picture does not convey the precision and closeness of these pilots, let alone the extreme noise they created!
The sun bounced off this shiny plane which had Red Bull painted on the side.
And here come the Italians.
Look at the clever boys. Ruler please!
Look how close they are together.
Doing the smoky trail thing.
Everyone strianed their necks but what a sight! Massage please.
Now could you do this trick!
The boys got a little excited.
Pretty indeed.
Ruler time again. These guys like neat lines.
Stuart's favourite. Does that red look a bit orange to you?
This was the noisiest brute of a thing. All dogs in Lugano hid under their kitchen tables!
Look at the pilot, brave soul.
The Swiss boys know a thing or two about precision.
A little V formation over Lugano city.
What a clear day it was.
I just like the smoke trails as they head off into the sky.
They really were together. We didn't cut and paste them. Ruler time again.
Bless.
Look at me, I'm upside down.
Got our wheels down. Thought you'd like them.
Let's scare the fishies!
Yee haw.
