The airfield is formally the responsibility of the Swiss Air Force, but is operated by the Civil Airport Buochs AG. Since 1 January 2004, the military airfield Buochs is a "sleeping base" of the Air Force. In case of an extraordinary situation the entire military infrastructure of the airfield can be made operational again.
In Buochs the aircraft Dassault Mirage III S, Mirage IIIRS, MirageIIIBS, IIIDS Mirage and F-5E were used. Pilatus use this airfield for all test- and delivery flights for the products manufactured by Pilatus aircraft, such as the Pilatus P-3, Pilatus PC-7, Pilatus PC-8D Twin Porter, Pilatus PC-9, Pilatus PC-12 and Pilatus PC-21. Buochs is equipped with an Aircraft cavern, also the A2 motorway was built so that Mirage IIIS using JATO booster rockets could take off from this highway. The air base is equipped with retractable Arresting gear devices at both end of the runway.
The airfield was active until 2003 and was used by fighter jets of the Swiss Air Force. It was the home of militia Squadron 8 with F-5E, along with the reconnaissance squadron 10 with Mirage IIIRS. With the end of Buochs as an active military airfield and the phasing out of Mirage IIIRS, 2 Mirage IIIRS received a special black and white paint scheme. Often Pilatus PC-6, PC-7, Alouette III, Super Puma, Mirage IIIDS were used from Buochs. With the exercise "REVITA" in spring 2014, Buochs was activated by the Air Command Meiringen for 4 days and there were missions with F-5E and F/A-18 aircraft.

Excellent work, Thank you. Excuse my ignorance, but could you be more specific to explain how we get the F5's and Mirages on the tarmac ? (what links and how do you display the planes on the tarmac?)

I have put the links into the notes, plus the video link on how to convert FSX a/c to MSFS.

Hello.
AI not visible. Are they integrated in the scene or do we have to convert them ourselves from FSX models using MSFS Legacy Importer?

Copyright issues prevent the direct inclusion of Third Party AI models into the scenery downloads. You have to obtain them yourself and convert them.
The locations of the models are given in the notes.
The Swiss F-18 skin is available on this site.
