WEF 2015

Post by tbower40 »

Can anyone tell me which Swiss base will be used this year for fighters covering the WEF air space? I heard it rotates every year throughout the Swiss bases.

Thanks,
Trevor

Any updates on WEF patrols flying out of Meiringen later this month? I know there are scheduled repetition courses going on during the same time there. Just planning on flying over from the USA to take some photos.

Thanks again for any updates anyone can give.

There won't be a lot of F-5's flying, part of the fleet is grounded due to cracks which were found in the wings of some F-5's. All F-5's have to be checked. CAP will be done by Hornets from Meiringen, and by those F-5's which have been checked already.

Thank you for the speedy reply. I sure hope they get more F-5's checked and cleared to fly within the next week.
