Breathtaking air-to-air visuals of an Edelweiss Airbus A350-900 flying alongside the Swiss Air Force over the Swiss Alps.
Lets pop off a few flares to lighten things up!

The bottom aircraft looks like a Piper Enforcer without the turboprop engine. Might be a Caviler conversion.

Day 1 of ETF 25 is now underway, which saw MAX (HMCS Max Bernays) conducted deck evolutions with a Cormorant helo.
A first for the HDW class (Harry DeWolf), it is likely the first time a Cormorant landed on an RCN ship.
This enables an important medivac capability which is needed when working in the Arctic!
