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 !
End of August, like every year, thousands of aviation enthusiasts are travelling to the Simmental Valley to the former military airfield of SST. Always the same days like Dittinger Flugtage Airshow near the german border, only in Sankt Stephan (ICAO-Code: LSTS) you have some nice mountains in the background or to climb for taking pictures from above. And never trust the meteorologists in the alps - most time the weather is predicted much worse then in reality ;)

The real majesty of the skies above the Simmental valley - an golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) - shares its territory with some legends of steel like the famous Papyrus Hunter.
