Grimmi was not very cooperative ... but after that sign it was important to follow the angry Hornet ... ;)
No, of course only an exercise with Swiss Air Force's Beech 1900D !
No, not the new Swiss Air Force Fighter - but the first Italian Eurofighter - ok, you call it maybe Typhoon - in Payerne !
Visit due the first exercise in the new CBA with Italy.
'till 1999 Buochs was Mirage-County. AMIR'16 seen during take-off during last repetition course together with Mirage IIIS. A year later the AMIR's where based here together with F-5 Tiger II.
This year's EPERVIER-Exercice is held in Payerne again and the french Mirage 2000 will stay two weeks. A wonderful background without fences - something new to the french pilots.
Tiger J-3003 awaits his last flight in and for Switzerland. It flies now as 761528 in the USA as Aggressor, unfortunately in 'normal' color. This F-5E was also known by Spotters as TigerTiger, but his 'real' name was 'Sinacat'.
'Sinacat' received this livery also for public relations to the Swiss Armed Forces Competitions.
As you can see I'm not a Fan of 'faked' pictures and didn't insist to the mechanics to clean the a/c for me. I like the real thing !
