Geschichte

Meiringen air base, also known as the Unterbach military airfield, is a Swiss military airfield located near the hamlet of Unterbach and the town of Meiringen, in the canton of Bern. It is one of three main air bases of the Swiss Air Force.
The airfield is situated in the steep-sided alpine valley of the Aar river, with its single runway parallel to the river. It is flanked to the north by the main road to Meiringen, the river, and the Brünig railway line. To the south, taxiways connect the airfield to aircraft caverns built within the valley side.
