Payerne 30/31 Aug, 6/7 Sep: 100 years Swiss AF

Post by Jaap »

Bit too far away for my agenda:
Im Jahr 2014 feiert die Schweizer Luftwaffe ihr hundertjähriges Bestehen – ein Jubiläum, das man sich rot im Kalender anstreichen sollte. Um dieses Ereignis würdig zu begehen und diejenigen zu ehren, die mit ihrem Engagement und ihrer Willensstärke die Schweizer Luftwaffe geprägt haben, werden im Jubiläumsjahr verschiedene Aktivitäten organisiert. 2014 gibt es zudem zwei weitere Jubiläen: Die Patrouille Suisse feiert ihr 50-jähriges und das PC-7 TEAM sein 25-jähriges Bestehen.

Die Feierlichkeiten beginnen im Süden der Alpen, wo der Flugplatz Locarno das 75-jährige Bestehen seines zivilen und militärischen Fliegerstandorts begeht. Im Juli findet eine offizielle Feier dort statt, wo alles begann, nämlich in Bern-Beundenfeld.

Zu einem solchen Geburtstag gehört natürlich eine würdige Flugschau, und davon wird es 2014 zwei geben: Ende August und Anfang September wird an zwei aufeinander folgenden Wochenenden in Payerne ein internationales Luftfahrttreffen, die AIR 14 PAYERNE, stattfinden. Dort werden sich viele Flugzeuge, Oldtimer, Warbirds, Kunstflugteams und legendäre Persönlichkeiten ein Stelldichein geben, um die Luftwaffe gebührend zu ehren und zu feiern. Neben diesen beiden Hauptereignissen werden in Payerne in der ganzen Woche Treffen, Entdeckungsveranstaltungen, Gesprächsrunden, Podiumsdiskussionen sowie ein buntes Unterhaltungsprogramm angeboten.


In short:
In 2014 the Swiss will celebrate 100 years Swiss Air Force, 50 years Patrouille Swiss and 25 years PC-7 team, during a two week event in Payerne in August/September.
A big airshow will be held in two weekends with many activities in between.
The Kick off will be in July in Bern-Beunenfeld.

Some more info about this 4 day-event:

AIR14 PAYERNE is planned for two different weekends, the 30 and 31 August and the 6 and 7 September 2014. The Management has planned various programs for each day of the meeting. The availability of foreign resources (teams and aircraft) is not possible for the two consecutive weekends. The main Swiss presence, along with a historical overview of our Air Force, will be presented on each of the 4 days. The Management has ensured balanced programs for each demonstration day, each with fantastic highlights. A final program will not be released until shortly before the meeting (...) The Management has already sent all the invitations. The responses of the Air Force and foreign teams will be known in the spring of 2014. We will post on our website all aircraft and teams whose presence has been confirmed. The most important elements will be communicated in the form of hot news. Choose, according to your availability, the weekend or day that suits you best. Either way, you will not be disappointed.

Themes are:
30 aug. recce
31 aug. air-to-ground
6 sep. air defence
7 sep. innovation & transport

There are strong rumours that the Royal Canadian Air Force is to do an F-18 Hornet Display at Kleine Brogel and Payerne.

I haven't seen any confirmation yet,
but it looks credible.

The same forum has claimed the Canadian Hornet would be at Waddington. Bit of a long timeframe between these shows :?

Kleine Brogel in particular looks rather credible.
