Swiss deployment, rumour or not ??

Post by Thunder » Tue Jul 18, 2017 1:55 pm

Seen mentioned a few weeks back that there was a Swiss AF deployment happening this year, is this fact or just the usual fence rumours?

487 views and no replies - surely somebody must know something more than rumour? Either way it's wheels on tarmac ;)

I don't know anything about this deployment, fact or fiction. Just wanted to say it's good to have onemac back on line - I look forward to more of your acerbic wit!

Was told by I would guess one of the locals last week that ten Swiss F18's were due in November for night exercises, goes without saying that it could still be just a rumour.

Do the Swiss Air force fly at night? The article I read a while ago said they didn't unless things have changed or was it just F5s?

I once heard that one rumour can get mixed up with another rumour and you
end up with a confused rumour. :ninja:

The Swiss Air Force are constrained from night flying at home, due to air bases closing in the late afternoon, which would explain why they would come to Lossie in November/December to get in the practice without upsetting their fellow countryman!

Three and fourpence, please - otherwise it doesn't make sense.

If this is true I wonder why they're not going to Norway like they usually do.
