Yes, there may be some happy pilots. The aircraft are:
One De Havilland DH-112 Mk.1R Venom
One Hawker Hunter F Mk.58
Three Hawker Hunter Trainer T Mk.68
One of the Hunters was piloted here during this display by the Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier, who worked at the Hubble Space Telescope twice.

Oh man...!
4 "Hunters" and a "Vampire"?
There are some seriously happy pilots in Switzerland...
Great photos. I especially like the fact that they were taken with such "light" gear. It only goes to prove that the "eye" is what really matters.
