The Payerne Air Base has continuously developed into the main base and the spearhead of the Swiss Air Force. It directly provides 230 jobs to ensure air operations and maintenance of aircraft and systems.
The Air Wing 11 (esca av 11) is responsible for operational missions and crew training in the field of air defense and air policing. It is responsible for the two aviation squadrons (esc av 17 and 18) operating F/A-18 Hornet aircraft.
The Payerne Air Base guarantees the major part of the Air Force’s combat aircraft operations. Approximately 50% of all F/A-18 operations are performed from Payerne.
Esca av 11 also provides the “Air Police 24”, which allows two armed F/A-18s to be deployed in less than 15 minutes (Quick Reaction Alert 15). The air police are operational 24 hours a day.
The Air Transport Wing 1 (esca TA 1) provides the full range of air transport services for the military and the authorities. It consists of TA Wings 1 and 5 operating Super Puma, EC-635 and Turbo Porter aircraft.

It is also on the site of the base that the military aviation museum Clin D’Ailes is located, which houses the aircraft that inspired our models.

Important

The scene will therefore be regularly updated to represent the latest infrastructure and get closer to a current situation.
(more than 400 pictures were taken this summer 2022 in order to create the new buildings).
