Revision as of 12:00, 12 February 2022
The Überwachungsgeschwader (UeG) (English surveillance squadron, French escadre de surveillance, Italian Squadra di vigilanza) was the overall unit of the Swiss Air Force professional pilots.
History
In the 20th century, Swiss military pilots were fundamentally militia soldiers. On April 4, 1941, the Federal Council decided to create the Überwachungsgeschwader. Those pilots also served as flight instructors for new pilots.
From 1966 the UeG operated the Militär-Helikopter-Rettungsdienst (military helicopter rescue service) as a supplement to the civilian SAR.
The surveillance squadron had its headquarters on the Dübendorf Air Base and had disbanded by the end of 2005.
