| | | Swiss Air Force - practice flights
Upper Lake Zurich area, fighter jets have been practicing here for days now. Flying really low, and back and forth all the time. Quite annoying.
Is there some sort of a public schedule for these drills?
I hope the new ones will at least be less noisy.

Fighter jets or the red ones from Patrouille Suisse? If that irritates you, never move to Lucerne :-)

As far as schedule goes, I'm afraid I've no idea.

The proper ones, not the red toys.

I am also a bit jealous, I love seeing them fly but then I've also repeatedly volunteered to spend several days at air shows, so my view may not be entirely unbiased.

We’ve been seeing them all week this week.
We had a nice display from the display team yesterday afternoon.

So I guess currently we have:
12.10.2020 bis 16.10.2020 Ganze Schweiz
Ausbildungs- und Trainingsflüge finden zu den normalen Betriebszeiten der Militärflugplätze statt.
And next week those of you nearer Zurich get:
19.10.2020 bis 23.10.2020 Einzugsgebiet Militärflugplatz Dübendorf
Von Montag bis am Freitag findet der Trainingskurs des PC-7 TEAM auf dem Militärflugplatz Dübendorf statt. Pro Halbtag wird ein Display geflogen. Die Displayzeiten sind von 11:00 Uhr bis 11:30 Uhr und von 14:30 Uhr bis 15:00 Uhr über dem Einzugsgebiet des Militärflugplatz Dübendorf.

I'm not sure I'd like to hear 4 of them attached to a Lancaster if I was living in Dresden...
