Can anyone tell me how the attitude towards scanners is? Are the Gendarmes also okay on that, or is it best to leave the scanner at home?

Het zijn zeker oude foto's. Als je op Twenthe kijkt zie je namelijk nog een F-16.

The reason for this visit is the fact that the Mi-26 was used to lift the catamaran Alinghi into the Lake of Geneva. This was done yesterday, when fortunately, the sun was shining again. (a report can be found at http://www.20min.ch/ro/news/romandie/story/-Alinghi-5--arrive-a-bon-port-16004125" oncl...

On the 4th of July all of a sudden this beauty (or beast) landed at the small airport of Lausanne-La Blécherette. Unfortunately I did not have my camera with me at that moment, so I had to return later. http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll74/niek7556/04-07-2009/IMG_6341-1000.jpg http://i285.photobu...

Thanks for the correction Alex, you are absolutely right!

On the 20th of June 2009, a Fly-In was organized at the airfield (grass-strip) of La Cote, which is roughly situated between Geneva and Lausanne. Besides all kinds of Pipers and Cessna's there were also some interesting Oldtimers, as well as a Swiss Air Force Super Puma. http://i285.photobucket.com/...

Well, I must say that I was not really focussing on the Starlifter when I saw the commerical. Maybe I should watch it a couple of times more

En deel 2 staat ook online.

Het is ondertussen al weer 17 jaar geleden, maar dit filmpje blijft toch indrukwekkend om te zien.
Wat hebben heel veel mensen toch heel veel geluk gehad.

Security, which security? I did not see a single military person even vaguely looking in my direction
Also very surprisingly, I had no problems at the Pilatus factory @ Buochs.

In the second week of MayI found some time to explore Switzerland again. During two days the following stuff was seen amongst others. Have fun, Niek Payerne 06 May 2008 http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll74/niek7556/Payerne060508J-3211.jpg F-5F J-3211 carrying some special pods. Anybody knows what...

As I had some difficulties to choose between the pictures I made in 2007 and to make life a bit easier, I decided to add a selection into a Youtube movie.
I'm curious what you think of them.

Did I maybe miss something? The planes on pictures 1 and 2 have the same badge and tiger tail colours, but one has an EC 12 code and the other an EC 33 code.
Is there anybody who can explain this?
