Their historical flights in northern Switzerland in detail
With open-cockpit Bücker Jungmann biplanes departing from Grenchen or near Zurich, you can experience the authentic aviator feeling, complete with leather cap and goggles, in a military trainer from 1935/1939 – either as a relaxing scenic flight or with aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and rolls. The Pilatus P-2 (first flight 1946) impresses with its characteristic 12-cylinder inline engine and authentic tailwheel feel; its successor, the Pilatus P-3, was in service with the Swiss Air Force until 1994 – both depart from Grenchen.
For a true warbird experience, the North American AT-16 Harvard II, a Swiss military trainer with a 9-cylinder radial engine completely restored by Max Vogelsang in over 7,000 hours, and the North American T-28 Trojan with an 800-hp radial engine, depart from Birrfeld. Both aircraft offer a genuine vintage cockpit atmosphere and, upon request, simple aerobatic maneuvers such as loops and rolls.
