On 5 April 2019, during Frisian Flag 2019, the Swiss Air Force' Boeing F/A-18C Hornet "J-5011" was seen with a special FlSt11
'Tiger' full coloured tail at Leeuwarden Air Base. Frisian Flag is a multinational exercise in the Netherlands. Boeing F/A-18C Hornet
"J-5011" is operated by Fliegerstaffel 11 of the Swiss Air Force, based at Militärflugplatz Meiringen in Berner Oberland.
Although Switzerland is not a NATO member, Fliegerstaffel 11 is a member of the 'Tiger Association', which links all the squadrons
with a tiger as a squadron emblem. In August 1998, Boeing F/A-18C-49-MC Hornet s/n 1351/SFC011 was seen first in service
with the Swiss Air Force as J-5011. |
