Michou Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Thanks for all your kind remarks concerning my photos of "Hunters in the Snow". This is the logical follow-up. When the Hunter was withdrawn from Swiss Air Force service many were bought by individuals, museums and organisations. One such group is the Hunterverein Obersimmental which operates the "Papyrus" Hunter in a colour schmeme based on Fliegerstaffel 15's paper aeroplane emblem. Once a year there is the possibility to see the Papyrus and other Hunters flying. These photos were taken at St Stephan in 2008 and 2011.

In the Sabrina (link collector) is a video camera and she will receive a DVD as a souvenir of her flight. Claude Nicollier (The name at the bottom of the list) is Switzerland's astronaut. He participated in four Shuttle missions, two of which were for servicing the Hubble telescope. The Flieger Museum's T.68 with F-5s of the Patrouille Suisse. The cabin perched on a metal arm is St Stephan's control "tower". Mike 17 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Thanks for showing. I remember the last Hunters in 1994 (when I was doing my RS) when they took off from Interlaken towards the Kleiner Rugen. Extremely impressive, just started a tight left turn right after take off.... Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted September 4, 2021 Share Posted September 4, 2021 Michou, I have a soft spot for Hawker Hunters. {MY late father who was in the Indian /British Army took ME as a kid to see an Air show while he was stationed in Pune, India(way back) and I fell for the Hunter...} Your collection of photographs of Hunters in the Sun is just WONDROUS to gaze upon. They are So aesthetically pleasing to MY eyes. I dearly would love get a flight like that lucky lady. Thank you for sharing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
