Fight airplanes in the sky genevois.

I know it is just a copy of the newspaper Tribune de Geneve, but I have to admit I was afraid when I saw them flying over my head in the city center.

I was there commuting from one place to the other walking fast when I listened to the sound of some powerful planes and when I look up there they were: 6 mirages....wow

When I was a kid I used to enjoy them, maybe my father's influence?...I recognized the Mirage and immediately thought: "don't say something happened right here in Geneva with all these foreigners and their organizations".

Then I unraveled it all: these old airplanes from the Swiss Army came for the 4th edition of the Geneva Classics and had to land somewhere. The machines were altogether a F/A 18, a Tiger, a Mirage (at least I was right about one of them), a Vampire Trainer and a Vernom. The last airplane was a Hunter "driven" by the astronaut Claude Nicollier.

In the video, the astronaut mentions the pilots and the passengers, I wish I were one of them...jut Cool....
