Swiss holiday - Bad Ragaz (9/7/23) and Samedan (10/7/23)

I am still sorting through my holiday loggings and photos. This was a road trip down to Provence then into Switzerland - non-spotting of course :lol: (I always manage to wangle a few visits - it would be rude to pass by without stopping!

These are just a few of the better images - first is this lovely An-2 caught at Bad Ragaz just south of the Liechenstein border:

The following day we were looking for somewhere to eat our picnic lunch and just happened to be closed to Samedan near St Moritz - how convenient :D

Apart from the usual helicopters to be found at most Swiss fields, there were a few interesting bizjets including my first PS- prefixed Brazilian.

Thanks Mike - yes it is a most beautiful part of the world. At one point we were standing on snow beside a lake in nearly 30 degrees!

Always love a Biz-Jet, especially a Gulfstream but the ace in the pack is that lovely Antonov piston-engined frame.
Thanks for sharing your super captures :thumbs:
Best Regards, Terry

Thanks again chaps. Apologies for late reply but been away again - using up my pre-retirement leave ready for the "big day" at end of September. Will have a look through what's left of holiday pics for anything worth posting. I have to agree the Antonov is rather special.
