Fliegerstaffel 3. Fliegerstaffel 3 (No. 3 Squadron) of the Swiss Air Force belonged to the Überwachungsgeschwader, thus professional military pilots were grouped in the unit. Their home base on disbandment was Sion and the aircraft flown were the Mirage III RS. Fliegerstaffel 3 carried  the AMIR badge (AMIR = Aufklärer Mirage (reconnaissance Mirage)) as their coat of arms. This badge shows a falcon head drawn in black lines on white ground, the neck of which is filled with blue color. The beak rises above the round badge, above the head of the falcon is the red number 3. Except for the number 3, the badge is identical to the AMIR badge of Fliegerstaffel 10 and Fliegerstaffel 4 (they had a number 10 resp. 4 In the badge).

History 
The founding of the then Fliegerkompanie 3 took place in the  Second World War with Dewoitine D-27 aircraft. These were replaced in 1944 by C-3603, which remained their aircraft until 1952. In 1945, during a reorganization, the Flying Staff of Fliegerkompanie 3 was transferred to the newly created Fliegerstaffel 3. From 1952 to 1954, Fliegerstaffel 3 used Morane D-3800 and Morane D-3801 aircraft. From 1954 to 1980 the Fliegerstaffel 3 was using De Havilland D.H. 112 Venom. In 1980 the Hawker Hunter became their aircraft used and Ambri Airfield became the home base of Fliegerstaffel 3. The Hawker Hunter abolished in 1991, the Fliegerstaffel 3 was temporarily disbanded. In 1992 the squadron was reactivated using Mirage IIIRS and the new home base was the military airfield Sion. At that time Fliegerstaffel 3 changed to the AMIR badge. The original badge was a red equilateral triangle with  white outer edges. In this badge was the head of a white Bulldog with black spot over the right eye and black collar. Underneath “3ème ESCADRILLE” was written in black. This badge was followed by a round blue insignia with a yellow outline, showing a flying yellow goose and a yellow number 3 in the upper right part of the badge. This was replaced by the already mentioned AMIR badge. In 2002, Fliegerstaffel 3 was disbanded, respectively integrated into the Aufklärungserstaffel 10.

Fliegerstaffel 5. Fliegerstaffel 5 ("Fighter Squadron 5")  was a unit of the Swiss Air Force. It was equipped with the Hawker Hunter. Its home base was Interlaken Air Base. Fliegerstaffel  5 carried as a coat of arms a black lynx with yellow eyes, which stretched its right paw with claws. From his mouth came red flames, which went into the background. The badge was round and had a white base. Under the lynx was written in black 5ème escadrille. Later, the badge was changed into a shield-shaped coat-of-arms with a stylized lynx head, often mistaken as a dragon head.

History
The unit was founded in 1925 as Fliegerkompanie 5, flying Häfeli DH-5 and EKW C-35 biplanes. In 1940 they were replaced by the new Morane D-3800 fighters. In 1945, during a reorganization, the unit was redesignated Fliegerstaffel 5. From 1951 to 1959 Fliegerstaffel 5 operated de Havilland D.H.100 Vampire jets. From 1959 they operated Hawker Hunter with Raron Airfield as their war base. They were later relocated to Interlaken until 1994 when the Hawker Hunter was put out of service and Fliegerstaffel 5 was disbanded. The military airfield at Interlaken continued for some time as a military helicopter base and competence center for war repairs/battle damage repair, until it was handed over to a civilian operator.

The most famous member of the Fliegerstaffel 5 was the Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier who piloted the Hunter until the fliegerstaffel was disbanded in 1994.

Fliegerstaffel 7. Fliegerstaffel 7 was a Swiss Air Force squadron equipped with Hawker Hunter aircraft until 1994. Their home base at the time was the Meiringen Air Base. As a coat of arms, Fliegerstaffel 7 carried a jumping yellow Trout named "Jaqueline" on a dark blue background. The badge itself was an isosceles triangle with a black border that stood on top.

History 
In 1925, the unit was founded as  'Fliegerkompanie 7' . The aircraft types Fokker CV and Potez were first used in 1937. 
1940 were they replaced by the new Messerschmitt Bf 109, which remained in use until 1947, whereby in 1945 the pilots of the Fliegerkompanie were regrouped into their own unit, Fliegerstaffel 7.
From 1951 to 1973 the Fliegerstaffel 7 used jet aircraft De Havilland D.H. 100 Vampire along with De Havilland D.H. 112 Venom, which were in use from 1963 to 1974. From 1975 to 1983, Fliegerstaffel 7 was equipped with Hawker Hunters at Meiringen. From 1984 to 1991, the squadron had its homebase at Interlaken Airport. On the occasion of 14 years (2 times 7) of Hawker Hunter at the Fliegerstaffel 7 and 75 years of the Swiss Air Force in 1989, the aircraft J-4007 received the a blue and yellow special paint scheme. The aircraft was mostly blue, with yellow wing roots and air inlets and a part at the stern leading to the engine exhaust, which gave the hunters' aerodynamic shape a good effect. Also the auxiliary tanks under the wings received a blue top. Their ground forces unit was Fliegerkompanie 9, whose emblem it carried on the right front fuselage. In the years 1992 and 1993, the squadron operated in the Italian speaking part of Switzerland at their war-time homebase in Ambri-Piotta.
In 1994, Fliegerstaffel 7 was back at its old home on the military airfield of Meiringen and by the end of the year, the Hawker Hunter was taken out of service and the Fligerstaffel 7 disbanded.

Fliegerstaffel 13. Fliegerstaffel 13 (No 13 squadron) of the Swiss Air Force was equipped with Northrop F-5 flown by militia pilots when disbanded in 2000. Their home base at the dissolution was Payerne Air Base. Fliegerstaffel 13 wore a shield-shaped insignia with a blue outer edge, showing an eagle with wings spread out and open claws ready to capture its prey, against a white background, with the red number 13 in front of the upper wing. The old emblem was round with an orange background and black border. It showed the stylized side view of a black wasp looking in the direction of the viewer; over its head was the number 13.

History 
The unit was founded in 1925 under the designation Fliegerkompanie 13 equipped with Fokker C.V at Ambri Airport.

In 1940, the unit changed to the Morane D-3800 and Morane D-3801 aircraft. In 1945, during a reorganization, the flying staff of the Fliegerkompanie 13 was transferred to the newly created Fliegerstaffel 13.

From 1955 until 1983, the squadron used its first jet aircraft, the De Havilland D.H. 112 Venom, operating from the aircraft cavern.

In 1984 the Fliegerstaffel 13 started to fly the F-5 Tiger. At the same time, Meiringen Air Base became their new war time base, thus flight operations there would be carried out out of an aircraft cavern.

In 1995, Fliegerstaffel 13 changed to the new home base, Payerne Air Base with the F-5E.

In 2000 the Fliegerstaffel 13 was disbanded.

Drohnenstaffel 7. The Drohnesstaffel 7 is a Militia squadron, stationed on the Militärflugplatz Emmen and is under the drone command 84 (Dro Kdo 84). Drohnesstaffel 7 has as Coat of arms a round badge that shows the head of an owl against a dark blue background and the yellow inscription "Dro Staffel 7". It is the only UAV squadron of the Swiss Air Force. The owl symbolizes the good sight of the UAV sensors by day and night.

History 

In 1995, the ADS 95 reconnaissance system was procured, and the "Dronesstaffel 7" was founded. In the beginning, they used ADS 95. Today 15 units are still in use. The drone with the number D-119 crashed on 13 September 2011.

The Drohnesstaffel 7 consists of the following functions: The commander, his deputy, the payload operator, the pilot, the airborne Surveillance officer, the drone commandant for the Artillery (Dro SKdt), the dispatch officer and the intelligence officer.
The tasks of the Dronesstaffel 7 are the real-time data acquisition by day and by night, the optical verification of information from other sources and the support of the artillery for the fire control.

The Drohnenstaffel 7 is also used in Switzerland for civilian tasks. Thus, for example, The Swiss Air Force carried out explorations in favor of the National Emergency Operations Centre in the large flood in Central Switzerland in 2005 and has been supporting the Swiss Border Guard since the middle of 2006 in monitoring the Swiss border. In the city of Zurich, the use of drones was approved during the UEFA Euro 2008 for monitoring the traffic and security situation or such events like the Street Parade.

As a result of the small silhouette and low visibility for other pilots, the ADS-95 is accompanied by an aircraft (usually a Pilatus PC-6) in peacetime during the day if the ADS-95 is in civilian VFR airspace. These escorts are called "OMBRA" flights; "Ombra" is also the callsign of the accompanying aircraft.
The 15 Ruag Ranger are still in use are replaced by six Elbit Hermes 900 according to the 'Armament Program 2015'. The Elbit Hermes 900 will be used in the Swiss Air Force under the designation ADS 15.
It is not known whether the Drohnenstaffel 7 remain, with putting the ADS 95 out of service and the  introduction of six ADS 15, a Milizstaffel or changes to the Berufsfliegerkorps.
