New Hawker Hunter flight videos
We have added a few new Hawker Hunter flight videos recently. Thanks to the unique Alpine topography and the beauty of the landscape, the Swiss Hawker Hunter flight is a real classic. More powerful fighter aircraft are also available for civilian flights, such as the MiG-29 supersonic flight in Russia. There are also more affordable options, such as the MiG-15 flight in Poland, another true classic. However, a few things make the Hawker Hunter flight in Switzerland remarkable: You'll seat next to the pilot and not behind him. So the Co-Pilot feeling is more intense compared to other jets where you seat behind the pilot. Also you can communicate more easily and watch the pilot at work. As the Hawker Hunter flights become more and more popular we decided to add some more Hawker Hunter flight videos. First we will show you a Hawker Hunter flight video that is quite popular. You can easily see why these Hunter flights are so unique. The Alpine jet flights are just crazy: The video is quite old and the Hunter wasn't equipped with HD cameras at that time. Also the music was the customers choice.Fighter Jet Ride in a Hawker Hunter fighter jet in Switzerland, HD
The next video is a full lenght video without editing, showing the customer next to the pilot: And here the crazy landing in Ambri Airport. Ambri is one of the hidden country airports in the Swiss mountains. The MiGFlug customer on this flight was a former US Navy pilot. He was used to land on aircraft carriers. After landing on Ambri he said: Swiss pilots are crazy.The Tiger Hunter jet
The next video is from outside. The Tiger Hunter during a display in Mollis, Switzerland. This is not a fantasy paint but has a history. Swiss Air Force pilot made a joke and painted a Hunter exactly like the one in the video over night. Another Hunter available for flights in in classic Swiss Air Force painting.Related Questions
Where can you fly in a Hawker Hunter today?
Switzerland is the prime place to fly in a two-seat Hawker Hunter as a civilian. Former Swiss Air Force Hunters, flown by ex-military pilots, operate among the Alps, giving passengers dramatic low-level runs through valleys and past glaciers. The combination of a classic British jet and Alpine scenery makes the Swiss Hunter flight a long-standing favourite.
What makes the Hawker Hunter flight different from other jet rides?
In the two-seat Hawker Hunter you sit side by side with the pilot rather than behind them. This gives a stronger co-pilot feeling, makes it easier to talk during the flight and lets you watch the pilot at work up close. Most other fighter jets seat the passenger in tandem, one behind the other.
What other jets can civilians fly besides the Hawker Hunter?
More powerful options exist, such as the supersonic MiG-29 Fulcrum in Russia, which can climb to the edge of space. There are also more affordable classics like the MiG-15 in Poland and the widely available L-39 Albatros jet trainer. Each offers a different mix of performance, history and price.
Why is Switzerland good for fighter jet flights?
Switzerland's Alpine topography — high peaks, deep valleys and glaciers — makes a stunning backdrop for low-level jet flying. The Hunters operate from small mountain airfields such as Ambri, tucked into the valleys. Former Swiss Air Force pilots know the terrain intimately, so they can fly close to the landscape safely and spectacularly.
Do you need pilot experience to fly in a Hawker Hunter?
No pilot experience is required. A former military pilot flies the Hunter while you ride alongside as a passenger, and you can take the controls during gentler parts of the flight. Operators apply basic fitness, height and weight limits, but no licence is needed. It is one reason classic jet rides appeal to complete beginners.
