@mazzel
Emmen was quiet because this airfield is closed for every aircraft (since 15 June)! It is a wonder that you even see something...

[Nilson]

Last week (monday 27th ) 3 F/A18's arrived for a temporary det. According to a local 2 more should arrive and they had/have to stay for one or two weeks and flying from The PS boxes.
Noted:
J-5008, J-5015 and J-5020

They came from Sion?

Greetings,
Arnold

p.s. the preserved Hunter was not present!

On monday 27th (afternoon) I saw 5 landings and 2 departures of hornets. Following Hornets were fly on this afternoon: J-5005/5008/5015/5016/5020
There was also a few tigers activities. I saw 12 landings and 4 departures.

One day later I saw a 5-Ship Formation of Pc-21 (I think they came from Belgium).

This week there is no jet activities from air force side (the RUAG/Armasuisse continous fly).

Hello all,

i made quick stop at Emmen 4-9-09 on my way to Italy for non-spotting trip... Just one F-5 was flying. J-3072. Also one PC-6 but couldn't read it off due to heatwaves. In rhe hangars also 5 other F-5's and a PC-7.

Cheers,
Jeroen

@Rabbit
We have no heatwaves in Switzerland in these days but rain and windy weather...
If you was there today, it could be the Pc-6 V-633 or V-613. This weak there were several tiger and Pc-21 sorties at Emmen Airbase.

Anyway the airshow 100 Jahre Luftfahrt 1910-2010 that is going take place in July 2010 will be organised for about 40'000-50'000 visitors. It could be interesting.....

Hi all,

coming from Bouchs, we decided to spend the rest of the afternoon at Emmen. Seen on 08-10-2009 were:

A-101 PC21
A-105 PC21
A-937 PC-7
HB-FOG PC12 Armasuisse
J-3086 F-5E Patrouille Suisse
J-3092 F-5E
J-5002 F/A-18C
J-5014 F/A-18C
N1222N Stearman (fly over)
T-729 B19D
V-612 PC-6
V-618 PC-6

A white PC-12 buzzed the field, but was not read. 3 Tigers also flew over the field, but were too high to read. The same goes for a Super Puma/Cougar which practised some approaches to the field.

Greets, Maikel
