The Patrouille Suisse are famous in Switzerland !  They are a display team flying very precise and spectacularly  in the national colours red and white. This year is their 50th anniversary. They make it possible for the average public to see and experience the absolutely impressive skills of these F-5 Tiger pilots ( which are of course backed up by a high tech ground crew ).

Now I was “lucky enough”  to be sick and lying in my bed at home. See, they have to practise, and they usually do that over the Zürich Lake, on which border we live. If you don’t know they are coming… well, you will as soon as they arrive, the noise can’t be missed ! So at first I figured oh, it’s them practising. But curiosity got the best of me, and I got out of bed, camera ready and watched. This is prime photo position once again, they fly right over our house !!!
