Photographer's remark
(12.11.2018, 20:10 CET)
The Schweizer Luftwaffe has kept its jets in mountain caverns since the late ‘fifties when it acquired Hunters. Between 1998 and 2003 it built F-18 caverns at Meiringen, since when the fleet has operated from three bases (the others being Payerne and Sion). The Meirinigen F-18s of 11 Fliegerstaffel emerge from their dispersals through sliding gates and taxi through arable land to the main site and runway; secure areas at the base are minimal and the public has access to the remainder.
