There will be definitely no painted jet aircrafts in the future of SwissAF.

It seems that a lot of people don't like the news.

AFAIK those aircraft are not owned by Breitling but by Apache Aviation/Jacques Bothelin. Breitling is "only" their sponsor, but hasn't anything to say about who is flying them.

2016 is a long time in politics...

The former commander-in-chief of the Swiss Air Force saw this already coming in 2012.

Hi!
The team will continue after 2016, but will lose its colours....

The communiqué from patrouilles du monde info clearly states that the Breitling offer consists of supplying new aircraft in addition to the Dijon based Breitling team and are not referring to the Apache owned aircraft.
