Switzerland has F18s? Last I heard, their air force was made up of ME-109s and B17s that landed there by mistake.

This reminds me of an old Candid Camera where the show parked official cars at some lightly traveled New Jersey border, telling would be entrants into the state that “New Jersey was closed”.

If you're referring to the "Candid Camera" trick that was pulled approximately 50 years ago, it was Delaware that was closed for spring cleaning.
A lady asked if New Jersey was open, and she was told that it was.
"Then I'll go to New Jersey," she said.

No Swiss fighter jets were scrambled Monday
I don't see what the big deal was. The Ethiopian pilot was obviously skilled enough to fly so one can assume he can land too. considering he was from Ethiopia, my guess is he really wanted a good Swiss meatball dinner.......and was willing to go to prison for it.

co-pilot... locked himself in the cockpit while the pilot went to... Mighty nice of the co-pilot to squawk the hijacking code on the aircraft's transponder. I suppose he should be commended for rying to be helpful!

I suspect the same stunt was pulled more than once. I wasn’t watching the show 50 years ago.

Swiss Air Force Office Hours 8am-12pm, 1:30 pm-5pm.
I sure hope the answering machine is able to take care of attacks after hours.
Surprised the swiss even broadcast the fact their defense forces are only active a few hours a day and there’s nothing they will do outside of those hours.

German General: “Our army outnumbers yours five to one! What would you do if we invaded?”
Swiss General: “Our our people would fire five shots, then go home!”
German General: “ What if we attack after hours?”
Swiss General: “You would win with no losses!”

Reminds me of an episode of “Yes,Prime Minister”,an excellent BBC comedy from the 80’s.In it the Prime Minister is discussing the British military’s weaknesses with an aide.At one point the PM says to the aide something like “so,in essence,if the Russians attack us we’d rather that they do it sometime between Monday to Friday”.

This is an actual quotation from her, so it doesn't matter if it is truthful or not for purposes of the tag line. I include it because you have a problem if you have to publicly declare that you are not a slut."

So if you want to attack Switzerland, do it after hours or on a holiday. Such is only allowed by appointment. If you want to leave a call back number, press 1.
