Founded in August 1964, the so-called “Patrouille Suisse” is the official aerobatic division of the Swiss Air Force. Its mission is to demonstrate the know-how and precision of the Swiss Air Force at air shows both domestically and abroad. This year alone, the team is scheduled to perform in England, Germany, Belgium and France.
Aircraft of the Patrouille Suisse were redesigned and repackaged in 1991 to leverage the two colors of the Swiss flag, red and white across their fuselage. Furthermore the Swiss flag is clearly visible on the underbelly of the aircraft as they fly overhead. (Primary Source: www.armee.vbs.admin.ch)
