Swiss Air Force 8 Staffel, #J-3073, Switzerland, 2017
Swiss Air Force Squadron (Fliegerstaffel) 8 “Vandalos” was formed in 1925. In 1993 Staffel 8 received the first F-5E. All Swiss squadrons are militia units and don’t have specific aircraft assigned to them so they draw from a pool of aircraft. J-3073 is unique for Staffel 8 because in March 2017 this aircraft received a special squadron-related paint scheme on the vertical stabilizer. In the scheme is the red sawfish “Vandalo”, numerous 8’s and “ADIO VANDALO”, “Good Bye Vandalo” because like Staffel 6 and 19, Staffel 8 F-5E’s future is uncertain.
