First stop Interlaken, which was deserted. We managed to read a single A109 through a hangar window, and found Hunter J-4018 amongst some buildings.

Next was another military base, but what a difference. Emmen seemed to be the base for the flying exhibits at Payerne. Plenty of activity and a good mix of aircraft. Although most of the aircraft had already been seen at the show, we still managed to catch some different F-5's and a few visiting mil biz.

Finally back to Zurich, we dropped off the car after a quick nip round the GA areas. Then up to the terminal and some lazy spotting whilst waiting for the flight home.
The flight back was delayed due to a Chinese A330 having a mishap at LGW. We finally managed to get airborne with only minutes to spare before ZRH would shut down for the night.
