News As part of a celebration of aviation, which took place on the 7th September in Bex (Switzerland), Yves «Jetman» Rossy took to the skies with fellow «Breitling Flyer» pilot, Nigel Lamb in the renowned Spitfire MH434. In this unique close-formation flight, the British iconic aircraft offered a stark contrast to the futuristic Jetwing, the cutting edge of Swiss innovation.
The Spitfire MH434, operated by «Old Flying Machine Company» and normally based in Duxford (United Kingdom), was invited by Toni Küpfer, former president of Bex Aeroclub for a flight demonstration at the airfield’s annual «fly-in» where the aircraft has been a favorite participant since its first appearance in 1976.
Bex aerodrome is also the home base of the pioneering aviator Yves Rossy and serves as a perfect development area for his famous Jetman project.
