    take a second, and emerse your self for a second and believe in the what if. when the video is done strive for this. don’t sit back in your chair thinking about finding another video to make you feel better. don’t be wasteful skin in the country you belong to. this is for me more than any of you, this is to get me to stand up, do what i want regardless of the financial problems or whatever. you only live once do what you want.

    @JohnZBrown We have a misunderstanding. Let me try again… Unlike todays fighters, which have more thrust than weight, the hunter could not maintain a vertical climb before stalling, so I wonder what angle, relative to the vertical, that a hunter at full throttle needed to assume to maintain a constant climb to max altitude. THAT is what In was wondering.

    @flyinDPOD this hasn’t much to do with Angle of Attack (AoA). A plane can be flying vertically and still have the same AoA that it has in sustained straight and level flight. The wing doesn’t see the airflows any differently in either case. But I think I know that what you are wondering about is the wonderful climb up the face of the Matterhorn! In all of this flying, entries to manoeuvres are smooth, the AoA is nowhere near stall angle, and the stresses on the airframe are low. Cheers.

    As a pilot this brings tears to my eyes. The Hawker Hunter is a lovely aircraft too. Out-climbing the Matterhorn is a highlight! I can keep watching this. I’d like to find the music for driving to – anyone know what it is?

    i once saw two f/a-18 doing stunts in switzerland above zermatt. when they were doing dogfights they weren’t flying any 100ft above ground. i felt pretty owned when those jets were flying towards me o0 xD

    thanks for great video; the matterhorn part was stunning. I suppose twisting through canyons & hopping over peaks is normal routine for Swiss pilots…

    it would be pretty awsome to be a swiss airforce pilot and have to run trainning exercises here all the time. very beautiful scenery

    That makes me wonder what angle of attack a hunter can maintain in a climb.
