Swiss Confederation 700 Years

Swiss Confederation 700 Years  
by Giacomo Fiscalini
HB-AHD Saab 340A Crossair 1991-95

To celebrate the 700th anniversary of the Swiss Confederation (whose origins can be traced back to the Federal Charter of 1291), Crossair held a design competition for Swiss children. Giacomo Fiscalini, a 10 year-old boy from Ticino got its drawing adapted on this Saab 340. The wings were fully painted in blue and it is to be noted that the Crossair titles and the logo were also painted in a hand-drawn manner, which is a rare occurence. This aircraft operated for UK subsidiary Business Air for a few weeks in March 1995, gaining additional handwritten Business Air titles during that period.
