Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Great shots from Swiss. You were really lucky with the Austrian F-5's. The other ones went to Emmen?

Hi Wim,

Not entirely certain about destination of other F-5's Through the grapevine at Payerne -fellow spotters- we heared that two more were expected to go to Payerne and rest to Emmen later this week

Apparently 10 will rejoin the Swiss on active duty :P

How about the text on the nose of the J-3079: "Last Pilot School Class on F-5 Tiger"? Are no more pilots trained on the F-5?

This four F5s should have gone to Emmen, but due to runway repairs the airport was (is?) closed.
The remaining eight aircraft should return this week or next week, with no plans yet about there future.

All 12 were expected to go to Emmen because the RUAG factory is there. About 6 aircrafts going to Payerne this week because Emmen is still closed due to construction and maintenance of runway. The other 2 coming directly from Austria to Emmen.

Anyway 2 Gripen doubleseater coming to Emmen from 28th July to 22th August for testflights (evaluation of tiger replacement).
