I uploaded a shot of this in 2022 and remarked that next time I passed Sion, I'd try and replace it with a sunny one! This Hunter preserved on the military side of Sion airport is dedicated to one of its pilots who went on to be Switzerland's first astronaut, flying on four Space Shuttle missions This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
