Aviation Wings of Swiss Air Force

In 1991, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the Swiss Surveillance Command, the largest airshow in Swiss history was held at Pairen Air Base. Because of Swiss neutrality, staging an airshow had been very difficult, as most foreign flying teams were not allowed in. However, within the last decade those restrictions have been relaxed. This program includes aircraft rarely seen in the West, including the Russian MI-24 Hind Attack Helicopter, arguably the best in the world, as well as some of the most popular aircraft around including the F-18 Hornet.
