BETWEEN JANUARY 16 and 27 the Schweizer Luftwaffe (Swiss Air Force) carried out its regular Wiederholungskurs (repetition training) at Sion Air Base. The first week (January 16-21) of this activity included armed combat air patrols (CAPs) flown over Davos, Switzerland while the World Economic Forum (WEF) was taking place.
