Swiss Air Force Redux
By John
Switzerland. It ain't just skiing and skittles.
This clip is a cousin of the one I posted back in July. Some footage repeats, but shit... who cares? These guys look like they train to run close air support missions against the abdominal snowman, so close they fly to the Alpine peaks.
Question: who wins in a dogfight? The Swiss F-5s, or the "new" Iranian Saegehs with their dreaded second dihedral tail?
Yes. I know the US bought their F-5s back from the Swiss a few years ago. Let a brotha spitball, aight?

What is the delta winged plane? A Mirage?
Mirage III, to be exact.
"abdominal snowman" brings some interesting mental imagery.
Abominable Snowman is what you were looking for I think...
Who wins the dogfight? Of course the one who doesn't need to point the plane to Mecca 5 times a day to pray..........

Hanging out in Switzerland years (and years) ago, it was amazing to watch the Swiss Air Force flying at and up the Matterhorn, through the valleys and hug the peaks. They sure looked like they were having fun.
