The Swiss Air Force has been practicing fighter jet night flights in Norway since 1998. This concludes what the NZZ writes. The pilots will be training in Scotland for the first time this November
Since 1998, Swiss fighter pilots have been training their night flights in Norway every year. This, out of respect for the Swiss population, which should not be disturbed by the training flights while sleeping. This concludes, as reported by the NZZ.
The Luftwaffe had to look for a new location because of the heavy construction work at the Norwegian Air Force Base Örland. One found one in Scotland. As the newspaper writes, the Lossiemouth military airport was designated as a replacement. The local infrastructure is suitable, and there is already a legal basis that makes this possible.
Return to Norway not planned
From 13 November to 8 December, around 35 pilots (including up to ten F / A-18 fighter pilots) and 100 ground staff members are to be involved in the planned training abroad. It is unclear whether the location in Scotland should be used in the long term for night flight training. At the beginning of the year, it was reported that the location of Norway was also on the verge of cost reasons.
but 4 out of 5 for the rest ain't bad.
