Maybe I am the only one that appreciates the cheese and the mountains, but Switzerland also has banks — and everybody likes that.
Last year's scenario for the annual Swiss large-scale military exercise was something along: "Eurozone has collapsed, France is after cold-hard cash, and comes to invade Geneva to rob the banks".
Also, Switzerland has launched the "Ilana" project to reach 24/7 airspace coverage in 2020. Maybe they decided they needed it after all?
Finally, one of the main reasons for the restricted flight hours is the nuisance due to the noise, which has nothing to do with peace time or bilateral military agreements.
I do not encourage Swiss bashing — Belgians have always been my favourite. However, get your facts right before calling something "stupid".
