EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the Swiss Air Force's Pilatus PC-6/B2-H2M Turbo Porter aircraft, identified as V-623 (msn 649) of lTsT7, is seen parked at Payerne Air Base. The Swiss Air Force, also known as the Schweizer Luftwaffe (German), Forces aeriennes suisses (French), Forze aeree svizzere (Italian), and Aviatica militara svizra (Romansh), is the military aviation branch of the Swiss Armed Forces. This versatile and agile turboprop aircraft, produced by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd, is a popular choice for various roles within the Swiss military, including transport, liaison, and training missions. The Pilatus PC-6/B2-H2M Turbo Porter, often referred to simply as the PC-6, is a short-takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft, capable of operating from unpaved runways and short strips. Its robust design and high maneuverability make it an ideal platform for various missions in the challenging terrain of the Swiss Alps. This photograph, taken circa 2000, showcases the aircraft's distinctive appearance, with its distinctive paint scheme and the Swiss flag emblazoned on the tailfin. The image captures the essence of military aviation, with the aircraft's powerful engines and the backdrop of the Payerne Air Base, which has been an essential hub for the Swiss Air Force since the 1950s. This photograph also holds a special connection to international military aviation events, as the Swiss Air Force has participated in various international exercises and shows, including the Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford, UK, on July 20, 2015, where they showcased their PC-6 fleet alongside other renowned aircraft such as the Cessna 560XL Citation Excel, T 784, and 560 5269 VIP models. The camaraderie and shared passion for aviation among the participating nations create a unique atmosphere, showcasing the best of military and civilian aviation.
