What would you like to know?
The last hunterfest with Patrouille Suisse, Pc-7 Team, Gripen and Rafale was a exception. The "Hunterfest 2009" will be less than last year.

@mazzel
Emmen was quiet because this airfield is closed for every aircraft (since 15 June)! It is a wonder that you even see something...

Payerne is closed from 03.08 to 21.08.09 and has no traffic from 27.07-31.07.09 and from 24.08-28.08.09. The hornets are going to Wittmund (D) for 6 weeks.

Meiringen has no traffic from 20.07 to 31.07.2009 and 31.08 to 04.09.2009. The airfield will be closed from 03.08.09 to 28.08.09. The hornets are going to Wittmund for 6 weeks...

Emmen is closed from 15 June to 24 July for jet aircrafts and 22 Juni to 17 July for propeller aircrafts.

I will go (maybe) to holiday near this Airbase. Can someone answer some questions?

Are there any activities with F-16 during July 09?
Is Spotting allowed/accepted (by local police)? If yes, is there a good place to take some pictures?

Thank You.

France and another unknown country would buy also some Pc-21, if Switzerland purchase Rafale or Eurofighter.

Anyway the VAE would like to purchase 25 Pc-21 from Switzerland (or another trainer from Italy).

For this period at Meiringen you can expect 10 to 50 departures per week. For comparison only: Payerne has more than 100 departures per week during that period!

I don't think the Swiss will have to vote about anything yet. They will just buy it. They will only have to vote when somebody starts a anti-new-aircraft campaign and gathers a certain amount of signatures from people. And what do you think what is this? :evil: :( :roll: http://www.keine-kampfflugz...

but hey, you can expect anything in a country that didn't even have womens' voting rights till 1991.... :? There was only one canton (appenzell, east part of Switzerland) that introduce the women's suffrage in 1991. :wink: The other cantons had the women's suffrage already since long time. Anyway t...

@Jan
Thanks for the pictures. Anyway the Pc-21 are not only stationed in Sion but also at Emmen. They are flying until end of october and switched to Sion.
