Planes nearly collide
The Swiss Air Force yesterday confirmed a report that a Swiss military plane nearly collided with a business jet above Geneva earlier this month.
The F-18 Hornet fighter plane had been on a training flight on June 4 when it almost crashed with the civilian plane flying from Spain, Swiss Air Force spokesman Juerg Nussbaum said, confirming the report published yesterday in the weekly SonntagsZeitung.
