+ravenclaw_007 7,633 Posted July 24 just found an old cd with some videos from the Hütten Air Show from 1987 , Hütten is a very small village in Switzerland and in a valley above a small lake , they organized a air show in 1987 , the spectators are on the hill side above the lake and have an fantastic view on the aircrafts some times even from on top ( depends how low the pilots fly in ) on of the reasons for that air show is to generate money for disable children , the organizer was asking the swiss air force if they could participate but they declined for what ever reason ( the people there were really pissed about it ) , so the organizer was asking the german ministry of defence if they could send some airplanes and they did from the Heer = CH-53G and BO-105 from the Luftwaffe = C-160 Transall from the Marine = Panavia Tornado all aircraft were stationed at Zürich Airport and flew from there to the valley at Hütten , the Tornado from the Marine had a brocken afterburner and normally would not fly like that but because the people there where so nice to us that Mario ( the Pilot ) decided to fly any way , in the video you can see that only 1 afterburner is functioning i was part of the 4 man crew from the CH-53G , 2 pilots and 2 flight mechanics , after our display we landet on the hill side and open the helicopter for a static display , by landing on the hill side we damaged with our down wash a bratwurst / sausage grill but the owner did not mind at all he was happy that we where so close by ( good for the business i guess ) video VTS-01 up to VTS-04 from the Hütten Air Show video VTS-02 C-160 fly by video VTS-04 CH-53G and Panvia Tornado video VTS-05 CH-53G over Germany , made by a former colleague Herman Luisoder video VTS-06 CH-53G over Afghanistan , made by a former colleague Herman Luisoder i apologize for the video quality , it is not the best , and don´t forget the Hütten Air Show videos are from 1987 you may need the VLC Media Player to watch this videos VTS_01_1.VOB VTS_02_1.VOB VTS_03_1.VOB VTS_04_1.VOB VTS_05_1.VOB VTS_06_1.VOB 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
