После почти столкновения Patrouille Suisse возобновил полеты
On June 15, two F-5 Tiger planes from the Swiss military aerobatic display team, Patrouille Suisse, collided, with the nose cone of one aircraft hitting a house near the town of Baar, in canton Zug.
On Friday, for the first time since the accident, a plane will take off from Emmen military airbase, in canton Lucerne, but the two damaged aircraft will remain on the ground.
This first flight will take place in the Air Force training sector, at high altitude. “At the present time, it is not known when the Patrouille Suisse pilots will be able to fly in air displays again,” the army said.
After last week’s accident, flights were suspended and a military investigation was opened into the cause of the accident. This is ongoing, but the investigating judge, military aviation authority, the commander of the Swiss air force and technical experts have given their approval for the resumption of flights, the army said in a press release.
