Nice report, but I see that Emmen has some messy backgrounds. Therefor I like nrs. 4 and 6 the most.

@ Bart , yes the background is sometimes filled but still, were in Europe can you get so close to the action ? Emmen is one of my favorit places to shoot and feelt the trill of the afterburners just 5 meters from the centerline....
lining up shots however do have a background...

@goast

Thank you for the great pictures. :) Unfortunately I have some bad news. :cry: The trail will be closed from September during the flight operation hours. The barriers will be replaced by gates. There will be an new trail along the fence. The other road will remain open.
Next week I expect an Antonov 124 (Tuesday) and F-18/F-5 flights. Anyway after the summer break the evaluation of ADS15 begins (there will be spotter days) and in the future Emmen will get a Gripen squadron (according Emmen command and if there will be a tiger replacement).

According my last information, there will be normal flight activities in Emmen next week but without the hornet squadrons. That means individual trainings and test/workflights are possible.
http://www.luzernerzeitung.ch/nachricht ... t92,189120
Other (older) sources says that there will be only the fly-out of the hornets and tigers (mainly Patrouille Suisse).

Remember August 1 is the national holiday in Switzerland.
