I've visited LSMP for the 1st time this year on monday the 22nd of February. Here some impressions - Payerne with sun and nearly T-shirt-temperatures Paradise

 

Switzerland - in the middle of european NATO-countries - has not a permanent QRA.  Only during events like WEF, G8-summit or the summit of francophone states this autumn the Swiss Air Force use this type of intervention troops. For that it was a nice surprise for me to see Hornet J-5235 during an 'Scramble-Mission' with live ammunition.

And some art in the evening - I hope you love it too:
