Swiss Air Force Aircraft from Switzerland


In March 2014, Swiss Post issued a series of two stamps to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Swiss Air Force. 


The maxicard shows the Swiss jet aerobatic team, the Patrouille Suisse, which uses six Northrop F-5E in a red and white livery that recalls the national flag. On the other side of the card, the stamp depicts the other aircraft currently in use to protect and control the Swiss airspace: the McDonnell Douglas F/A-18 Hornet.
