Postcard from Switzerland!

Today I got a cool postcard from Switzerland! The postcard features a squadron of Swiss Air Force fighter jets with livery matching the red national flag of Switzerland. The Swiss Air Force was established in 1936 as a separate service and is headquartered in Dübendorf. Its main priority is the air defence of the country and its primary fighter planes are the F/A-18 Hornet and the F-5 Tiger. The force has 1,600 active duty personnel and its pilots are trained to carry out air operations from temporary air strips on highways. The card was published by the Swiss Post and features a preprinted stamp on the back. The card is an official Postcrossing card, CH-202974. Thanks Giedré!
