The Swiss Air Force puts on a mountain-dodging tour de force, accompanied by Toronto band FM, featuring the late Nash the Slash.

FM!!!!!   My favourite 1970s out-there-in-the-boonies band! My earliest introduction to synthesizers/ electronic music. 

I saw them live in the 1990s here in Ottawa

My brother and Jeff Plewman (Nash the Slash) were quite close friends, he was devastated when he died.

The weathering on those P-47s is grossly overdone and the landing gear doors are too thick! The .50 cal guns are overscale...

Op Inspiration. Snowbirds over Canada

This is their Ottawa pass. Skip forward to 10:30.

At 10:35-50 you will see a large campus on the left. That is the new DND HQ campus. It used to belong to Nortel.

I frequently walk around the campus. There many are public trails.
I have my best modeling inspiration moments when walking around here.

At 10:55 to 11:00 you are flying over my neighbourhood. I can see my house. The "spit" and sailing club are a 5 minute walk from my place.

Interesting that the pilot has an AK-47 or AK-74 across his chest whilst flying 😯

Some cool footage of trials of MGM-166 LOSAT (Line-of-Sight Anti-Tank)


https://youtu.be/iiojguQy8pI

For the life of me, I still don't understand why this missile system wasn't adopted and put into operational service by the US Military.

It was replaced by Lockheed Martin’s Compact Kinetic Energy Missile (CKEM) program which eventually was cancelled too.  From what I understand such systems were deemed too specialised and the need simply not there vis-à-vis other solutions.
