Martin,

Either that, or that "stealth hydroplane" can get 130 kts over the deck for a launch! :wink:

Hi all,

It's an event made by the Swiss Army in Lugano (south of the country), more information here:

I don't know the purpose to put a FA/18 on a small boat/platform like this, but it's a beautiful sight.

Cheers from the country of sailing FA/18
