Swiss Air Force's flight schedule 2027 - Payerne

 Payerne is the main base of the Swiss Air Force

Main activity in January is the WEF (World Economic Forum) during the repetition course. 

2027 is the last year for the F-5E/F Tiger aircraft in our Air Force - go get 'em, last chance !

RIO 2026, Epagny - Sep 05/06, 2026

Rencontre Internationale des Oldtimers - every aviation enthousiaste in europe should know it. Especially the fans of those prop driven flying machines of aviation history.

And - it's one hour bicycle distance from my home ! Passing the mountain goats of lake Gruyeres every morning on the way to the airshow is an special bonus 💕

The aircrafts are fully accessible for the visitors

FMA Museum Altenrhein

With the heavy rain at the Airshow a few days ago, a lot of people where taking cover in the Museum.
It was my second visit, the last one a few years ago .... Still worth a visit, a lot of history in very little space. And yes, Altenrhein is one of the few places in Switzerland with an aviation production history !

Newest acquisition - the Hunter from Mollis !

100 Years Altenrhein Airport

Planned to be the biggest event in Switzerland, the Organisation Commitée had to take multiple hits from sponsors and the people living in the area. But the Airshow is on - some of my very few pictures from todays Trainingday in heavy rain...

Not a very lucky day I've taken - Patrouille Suisse was in the air, but cancelled due heavy storms on the way. Probably the heaviest storms in decades harassing different areas of Switzerland today ... 

stay safe !

Hunterfest 2026, St Stephan

No more flying Hunters in Switzerland, and the Vampire in maintenance. But the local Hunterverein moved mountains - what an lineup in the Simmental Valley !

JuraBike #3 - my Bike-Trip 2026

First half of May I was riding the Jura - mostly on trail #3, but with interesting visits left and right planned. Due the weather - snow/rain/grail/sun/rain multiple times per day - a lot of trails was left out and I have to revisit the area again ... some impressions and sorry, no aircrafts this time ☺

a lot of the visits on the trail where such memorials, here one of a german crew crashed near Yverdon in WWII

Nice visit in Orbe, the rumain mosaiks

Scott Patron vs Bunker

one of those days ...

it's so clear where to go ...
