Rehearsing the greatest show on Earth

We’re up early this morning and off up to Wengernalp. From here we hope to see the rehearsal for the air show and maybe spot some of the racers doing their final training run. Work was still going on at the new VIP area but we saw a few people in there so we wandered in. We weren’t challenged and we had the best view of the track imaginable. 

First up is the air show. This is performed by the Patrouille Swiss accompanied by a  Bombardier airliner from Swiss Airways.

Next came the racers. They fly about 40 metres off the Hundschopf jump at the top of the picture before making the tricky right turn round Canadian Corner where our grandstand is situated.

A great day out, at a total cost of zero.
