1. Title: A Milestone Moment in Swiss Air Force History: The Successful Integration of Maverick Air-Surface Missiles on a Hawker Hunter F58. This historic photograph captures a pivotal moment in the Swiss Air Force's aviation history, as a Hawker Hunter F58 jet fighter, registration number J-5821, is seen armed with Maverick air-surface missiles during successful trials in November 1981. The Hawker Hunter, a British-designed single-engine, all-weather jet fighter and fighter-bomber, was a mainstay of the Swiss Air Force from the late 1950s through the 1990s. In this image, the Hawker Hunter F58, adorned with the Swiss Air Force roundel and markings, sits on the tarmac, its wings swept back, and the Maverick missiles, with their distinctive fin-stabilized, winged shape, clearly visible under the wings. The Maverick missile system, a ground-attack, all-weather, air-to-surface weapon, was a significant upgrade for the Swiss Air Force, providing enhanced capabilities for the Hawker Hunter fleet in the areas of precision strike and tactical support. The successful integration of the Maverick missiles on the Hawker Hunter F58 marked a crucial step forward in the modernization of the Swiss Air Force's arsenal and its ability to effectively respond to various threats. This photograph serves as a testament to the innovative spirit and commitment to maintaining a strong and capable air force that characterized the Swiss military during this period.
