Today I heard the following info about swiss fliegerhortsen.

The swiss air force is doing some test with different airplanes to see wich one is the best for them.
The test periodes are:

Saab Gripen: 28.07. bis 22.08.2008 Medienanlass: 12.08.2008
Dassault Rafale: 13.10. bis 07.11.2008 Medienanlass: 28.10.2008
EADS Eurofighter: 10.11. bis 05.12.2008 Medienanlass: 25.11.2008

All those test will take place at Emmen and for each airplane there will be a spottersday as well.

I can find your info on :

Some other info:

Payerne will be closed from 28 juli 2008 until 22 august 2008

Meiringen is closed now until 1 august 2008.
Meiringen will probably have a spotters day for the grippen on 14 august 2008 but this is not sure right now.

Emmen is already active since monday. This week I expect some Tigers from Austria and from Payerne but also the pilot school with their Pc-21. The pilot school will fly the Pc-21 from Emmen until end of october.

No problem,

I think most people will know what it means. I'm sorry I didn't know that you are tigerfan.

An other question.

Do you have any idear how many "waves" the 2 gripens are flying a day.

And some thing about St Stephans: How many hunters are participating in this "airshow" just 4 or can we see some more?
