As we spent a couple of weeks in Switzerland, it would just be rude not to visit Fleiger Flab Swiss air force museum.
Base in Dübendorf just outside Zurich, this museum blew me away with how its exhibits are displayed.
I will start with a couple then just add to the post as and when I edit them.
First off, a great example of an f5 Tiger ll
Then a great diorama with a vampire undergoing an engine change
This is a full size vampire and not a scale model incase anyone wondered
Darren
That is an amazing museum. Great collection and exhibit.
So different from the uk Roger, it terms of the way things are displayed. . TBH I wasn’t expecting much but I was very pleasantly surprised
Darren
This was a very interesting find at Fleiger Flab. It’s a P-16 MK lll. A Swiss built ground attack fighter. A prototype developed by Flug- und Fahrzeugwerke Altenrhein (FFA).
You can clearly see design features from many other classic Cold War jets. Its size was quite surprising too
DarrenTheir Hunter team was really nice as well!
Display jet?
Darren
Yeah. Patrouille de Suisse used to fly with Hunters. I still have some slides featuring them somewhere. Back in the early nineties at RIAT.
That’s right, they did.
Darren
Sucha lovely plane.
Yeah I call it the e-type of the skies
Darren
That’s perfect. Lovely sound they make as well.
Now I want to go back to Switzerland.
