I was incredibly lucky to be able to join COAP in Switzerland in January 2017 as the base closed for military operations. Sion is one of the most picturesque bases in the world, surrounded by mountains and providing spectacular views.
The Swiss Air Force held their last repetition training at the base and the group was able to attend the closing ceremony and a special flypast of Hornets and Tigers!
Sadly the weather didnt play ball on the first couple of days but we had almost perfect conditions at the end.
