Yesterday, there was the annual Swiss Airforce Display (kind of a airshow, but with real canon-shooting on various targets in the mountains)
The gunrange is located in the mountains, so a 2hours walk/climb is needed to get there (or a VIP flight with a SuperPuma helikopter

)
Following participants of the Swiss Airforce were there, demonstrating their skills

F/A-18
