The Payerne Air Base has continuously developed into the main base and the spearhead of the Swiss Air Force. It directly provides 230 jobs to ensure air operations and maintenance of aircraft and systems.
The Air Wing 11 (esca av 11) is responsible for operational missions and crew training in the field of air defense and air policing. It is responsible for the two aviation squadrons (esc av 17 and 18) operating F/A-18 Hornet aircraft.
The Payerne Air Base guarantees the major part of the Air Force's combat aircraft operations. Approximately 50% of all F/A-18 operations are performed from Payerne.
The Air Transport Wing 1 (esca TA 1) provides the full range of air transport services for the military and the authorities. It consists of TA Wings 1 and 5 operating Super Puma, EC-635 and Turbo Porter aircraft.

It is also on the site of the base that the military aviation museum Clin D'Ailes is located, which houses the aircraft that inspired our models.

Important

This "Legacy" version of the scenery represents the airbase as it was before 2020. We created it to use our extensions (Morane, Vampire, Venom, etc.) in a context closer to what existed during the era of these aircraft. It will not get any further major update. A current version of the base will be available in the future.
