5 September 2014 – Payerne Airbase
This year's History is made here, a Payerne.
Taking advantage of a very unusual series of events the Swiss Air Force has organized the event of the year here: an air show lasts well 10 days!
This year we celebrate the Helvetian 100 years of the Air Force, i 50 years of the Patrouille Suisse and the 25 years of PC7 Team: and when an opportunity such recapitalization?
i 2 weekend Air Show were organized with flight schedules are all different and, considered the distance from home base I had to pick one of the 2: I chose the 2nd.
Check in then today, Friday 5 September. I take advantage of a delay in the delivery room to go straight to the airport to enjoy the evidence. The weather, this weekend, should be lenient, giving way to sun. Already today gives us a taste and enjoy the evidence of the absence of clouds. Arrival during the midday break and, potendo not entered in airport, I settle on an embankment outside, just behind the mound of spotter.
From this position, I begin to taste what awaits me tomorrow and Sunday: Al Furusan, Spitfire, F 16 Solo Display Greco, Breitling Jet, IF 2000 Solo Display RAF, Sea Fury, and Hawker Hunter take turns in the blue sky. Eventually, icing on the cake, also lands a Mirage 2000 dell'Escadron Hunting 1/2 Cigognes Dijon, a soli 150 Km in the qui.
As I prepare to return to the car, I realize that you can get at the airport and I will not miss the chance. Now I am faced DC 3, C 45, and a wonderful TBM Avenger. I continue toward the center of the airport, dove vedo svettare la deriva del “nostro” KC 767 and I find, parked on the lawn, Spitfire, P 40, Sea Fury e Yak 3. On the square, accanto al tanker, There are Constellation, B 17, Antonov 26, Let 410, CH 53 German, UH-60 austriacoe a brand new NH 90 the Italian Army.
While all this photographer arrive 2 F 15E USAF di Lakenheath.
Well, I do not know if you realized, questo è l’antipasto….l’abbuffata nei prossimi 2 giorni…..
