This year is Swissair's 50th anniversary and the company has marked the occasion with the restoration of the Comte AC-4 HB-IKO. This historic aircraft was originally registered to the Swiss airline Ad Astra as CH 262 in September 1930. The company was taken over by Swissair in 1931 and the AC-4 remained in service until 1938. After many years in Germany, as D-ELIS, the aircraft was bought back by Swissair in 1979 and restored by the Fokker Team, a group of retired Swissair employees. The Comte is airworthy and at present based at Kloten, Zurich
