<HTML>John,

We had the opportunity to shoot live rounds on sacks streamed behind a towing C-3605 of the Swiss Army Air Force. We did also track and shoot without ammo on overflying DH Vampires and Hawker Hunters, even on an odd Mirage IIIRS with the estimated hits given out on computer screens. As you see no real life or death shoot-outs, but then you certainly know that Switzrerland has this special ability to stay out of open conflicts (thanks to the banks ?).

Thanks for sharing your recollections and agreed: good to know that there are gunslingers lingering here !

Regards

Marc</HTML>
