Bern, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Patrouille Suisse, the Swiss air force’s aerobatics team, will continue to fly for at least 10 more years, says the Swiss Army’s chief, André Blattmann, in an interview with the Swiss Army magazine, Schweizer Soldat. The future of the aerobatics team hinged on the use of the F5 Tiger airplane used for their shows. The Tiger will continue to be used by the Swiss air force for at least another 10 years.
