Final Call FlSt 17 - December 09th, 2025

With the new Fighter F-35 there is also a new organisation needed, Swiss Air Force will have only two squadrons in the future.

Fighter Squadron 11 needs its status for the Nato Tiger Association, so it is the Squadrons 17 and 18 wh will be transmorphed in the new Fighter Squadron 35 (equals 17+18).


The day of the dissolution began bright and sunny, until I arrived in Corcelles Village just near the Payerne Base. Fog, Fog and did I say it already ? Fog.

Lucky me I was able to see some movements , other photographers only heard them. Lucky us - the event will be repeated in better conditions next year - if possible.
