TEAM 2026
The commitment of each TEAM member is an additional task. The pilots of the PC-7 TEAM fly full-time in one of the two F/A-18 squadrons of the Swiss Air Force in Payerne or Meiringen, completing around 110 flying hours a year on the Hornet. In this function, they contribute to the fulfillment of the Swiss Air Force’s mission. This includes safeguarding air sovereignty and ensuring round-the-clock air policing over Switzerland. The fact that the PC-7 TEAM pilots all fly fighter jets on a full-time basis and perform demonstration aviation exclusively as an additional task is a rarity worldwide and underlines the high performance of the Swiss Air Force.
