You must be bored with them by now. This is the amusingly named "FLAB 75" (FLAB being what the Swiss call FLAK, Fliegerabwehrkanone) from Dübendorf. Delay in posting to due a little visit I paid to Rugby from Sunday to Tuesday evening.

Think that's a near miss report that needs to be filed? :lol:

Great pictures Toby.If I had to pick a favourite it would have to be the Ju-52.ATB EricT :thumbsup:
edit,a close second would be the group shot.I always like candid portrait pictures.

Very nice Toby B)smk ..you're on a roll...and we're not cheesed off at all :)

Being Swiss there is always a splash of colour which is so well set off by their scenery which in these pics was not visible. :worried:

Still great shots even if there was no spectacular Swiss scenery to alp you B-)

Hi Garry,

Its pretty flat around this area. This is in fact between Zürich city and Zürich Airport (Kloten) itself. I believe it was once a civilian airfield before becoming military and is now mixed-use.

Hi Folks

Toby -
Great pics.

Particularly like that first diamond.
Looks almost like a wrapping paper, or Warhol print.

You're apologising for what reason? Some excellent pictures, of aircraft we would rarely to get to see here. :cheers:

One complaint though - where are the foxy wingwalkers? :hide:

The tasty wingwalkers are likely as not back in Blighty! You guys just need to get out to airshows more often (where else do you expect to see attractive women?) :doh: :lol:

Great pictures Toby! Educational as well. Taught me to order Viel Zeit for a good beer if I ever go to Switzerland.

"Viel Zeit" translates as "Plenty of time". The Brewer is Falken and their range of beers appears to be here:
