“…Northwest Yodeling Festival”
You can’t make this stuff up. Wonder what the yodelers thought about this?
Anyone want to start a go fund me to by them some portable Garmin GPS’s?
“Not suitable for combat missions” or flyovers.
This article left out a significant detail, namely that the safety zone of the Patrouille Suisse (sort of like a TFR) was penetrated by a civilian helicopter shortly before they arrived at the flyby area. This was pointed out to the team leader by ATC who was then looking to see the traffic which caused him to momentarily divert his attention from the flyby area.

That’s an interesting detail to leave out.
Luckily they are a neutral country. Safest air force.
“Looking to see the traffic” known to have been in his TFR should have oriented PSuisse Leader to the flyby area. But since they knew they were GPS-dependent why didn’t they have a GPS ? Certainly none among those aviators had a “Smart Phone” then ? (Note to self - check the .net for Patrouille Suisse selfies over Mumsliswil.) On a positive note, they were able to out-maneuver the helicopter.
