Zigermeet 2019
We went to Mollis by car and already stuck in traffic when we wanted to leave the autobahn. There was a long traffic jam beginning at the parking and ending on the highway. We thought we were early enough, but no chance. We needed about one hour from the highway to the parking of the event. The first display have already been flown when we entered the airshow area. So I searched for the same spot I already were the last time. It took another hour to get through the crowd of p

LSPOspotter & LGBTQ+
Let me explain to you why I changed the corporate identity of LSPOspotter at the beginning of June. As some of you may know June is called Pride Month too. And as fewer of you may know, I, the founder and head of LSPOspotter, am gay. This is why I wanted to show my fans and followers that LSPOspotter is a company founded from an LGBT supporter and LSPOspotter will support LGBT rights! Now let me tell you my story about fears and luck since my coming out: Not even a year

Soaring Field Olten
The small airfield in Olten is located a few waling minutes outside of the city. It is operated by the Segelfluggruppe Olten (Soaring group Olten) and so it isn't surprising the main traffic consists of gliders. Unfortunately take offs and landings of motorized aircrafts, such as Cessna's are restricted and only tolerated after written consent of the city administration. The airport has a 830 meters long and 30 meters width grass runway, two hangars and a small restaurant whi

Dittinger Flugtage
After my first, and so far only visit in 2013 at the airshow Dittingen, I wanted to go back. Especially when I read about the expected guests and acts! So I went to the show... When I arrived by public transport at Laufen, a small town near Basel, I went to the shuttle bus which was quite full at this time. The bus drove up to a temporary bus station where all guests had to change to smaller buses of the military. They took a small path through the forest to reach the airsh

Delivery flight of HB-JNJ
In the middle of February I received a surprising E-Mail message, coming from the Social Media department of Swiss International Air Lines! They asked if I am interested to pick up the 10th and last Boeing 777-300ER at Seattle and fly it to Zurich. Even when the dates were not fully clear I confirmed the invitation. Because; when will I ever be able again, to witness such a cool event? Two days before our jouney began, I received the boarding passes for the flights to Seatt

Breitling Sion Air Show 2017
The Breitling Sion Air Show 2017 was of course one of the most important events in Switzerland in 2017. The air show which took place at the mixed-used airport of Sion (SIR / LSGS) in the alps of Switzerland was well visited during the three show days. Our team took different spots and days to show you all highlights! On the first day we arrived during lunch time and were in the crowd and enjoyed the first smells and the loud sound of the fighter jets. It was surprising how

Farewell, Belavia TU-154!
On 29th of May 2015, the Tupolev TU-154M of Belavia with the registration EW-85748 operated its last flight from Geneva to Minsk. The plane, built in 1992 by the Russian manufacturer Tupolev is getting too old for the airline. It will be soon replaced by the more modern B737 of Boeing. At 6:03 a.m. my train to Geneva Airport left my hometown. On my side, my father which made my day way easier, 'cause I didn't have to wander around alone. After nearly three hours of driving,
