Mil: Payerne F5 question

[Lossie15]

Hi guys, have just spent the day at Payerne in some lovely sunshine hoping for some F5 action, but there were no F5 moves. Plenty of Hornet activity.

Believe the base flying on Monday’s are night flying?

Does anyone know of much F5 activity at Payerne this week?

Regards,

Mark.

Thanks for this Tim. Did check this earlier and does say that they should be flying?

Strange that they didn’t today..?

Unfortunately there are many days without any F5 movements at Payerne nowadays.

That’s not great. What’s the reason?

Would Emmen be the same?

The reason: There aren't many F-5s left in Swiss service...

Majority of Tiger flying is done from Emmen these days. Still 22 F-5Es and 4 Fs left in active service, equipping 2 service staffels and Patrouille Suisse.

Visited Emmen yesterday, flightsheds contained two F-5s (of which one in PdS colours).
Three sheds were open, 2 sheds contained a PC-21.
So probably some F-5 activity at Emmen...
