Last update of image gallery
19 May 2013
The reason for producing this site was to share photos and information with fellow enthusiasts. The section on the Swiss Military Aviation should give a in-depth view of the modern Swiss Air Force. Particularities of the Swiss civil flying including some pages on Pilatus Aircraft Ltd can be found in the section Swiss Civil Aviation.
True to the saying: "A picture says more than a thousand words", an Image Gallery gallery is also part of this site. Visits to various airports around the world not only results in the image gallery being updated, but often also lead to an article which is then added to the Reports & Visits section of this site.
Currently there are 6376 pictures being shown in the image gallery. Some elder images are being rescanned and added to the database. Those images do not qualify for the "Latest 60 images". They can be found in the section "Taken from Slides"
This site is being updated on a regular basis with new images, additional information, and more reports. The latest four reports are added below.
