With a Maverick TGM on the port outer pylon of J-4080, a pair of Hunters gets airborne from Runway 32 at St Stephan shortly before making a sharp right turn to avoid the mountainous terrain, followed by a climb northwards over Zweisimmen. J-4080 remains airworthy as N326AX in the USA and is used for tactical air training.

Having made a tight S-turn, J-4065 of FISt 15, with a Maverick TGM on the starboard outer pylon, settles into short finals for Runway 14 at St Stephan. In August 1995 J-4065 was ferried from Emmen to Toulouse in France, where it remains on display at the Ailes Anciennes Toulouse museum.

In 1993 Fliegerstaffel 15 Hunter J-4040 was painted in a distinctive “newspaper" colour scheme to reflect the unit’s “paper aeroplane” motif and had serial “J-4015” applied to mark the type’s retirement from Flugwaffe service. Given the civil registration HB-RVS, the “Papyrus” Hunter still flies regularly today.

Hunter J-4099 leaves its shelter at St Stephan on a freezing cold morning, fitted with a Maverick Training Guided Missile (TGM) on its port outer pylon; TGMs were normally carried by about half of the squadron during trials to explore flight handling.

With the undercarriage tucking away neatly, J-4059 departs St Stephan in November 1993 with a TGM round on the port outer pylon. Hunters were not allocated to specific squadrons, although most had individual unit markings applied at some point; here, the bison motif of FISt 20 may be seen below the cockpit windshield.

Squadron Leader Ueli Leutert retracts J-4040’s undercarriage after a low go-around at St Stephan in August 2017. J-4040, which wears the serial “J-4015” in tribute to FISt 15, the “paper aeroplane” motif of which inspired the “Papyrus” scheme, was not one of the 40 Maverick-capable Hunters, all of which were from the serial batch J-4056 to J-4100.

With a Maverick TGM on the port pylon and an inert 200kg "dumb bomb" on the starboard outer pylon as a counterweight, Fliegerstaffel (FISt) 15 Hunters taxy out for a two-aircraft formation departure from Runway 32 at St Stephan. The latter has a relatively short and markedly undulating runway, which was used by Venoms before the Hunter era.

The sole CFP-76 (SUU-13/A/S1) chaff/flare dispenser pod acquired by the Flugwaffe, flown only on the two T Mk 68 two-seaters of FISt 24, now on display on the starboard outer pylon of J-4204 at the Flieger Flab Museum in Dubendorf, as seen here. The museum also displays a Maverick TGM beside single-seater J-4152, originally F.4 WT716 in RAF service.
