Back to the Cold War ? Hornets in SST



Strange noises and tails in the Simmental valley - four Hornets out of Payerne where used for an decentralisation exercise on the former military base of St. Stephan (in use 'till 1994).

Contrary to the cold war times, the huge amount of military security personel was very friendly and had a lot of military cookies and chocolate to give - thank you 💗🍫🍫🍫

Such exercises are important for ground and flight personal and are held regularly on Geneva airport and former Swiss Air Force bases like Buochs, Mollis and St. Stephan. Hornets will be back in SST next year, and the new fighter aircraft NFA is also planned to use those bases in the future.
