2026100 Years Swisstopo Flight Service - Set

Switzerland from the sky then and now
The three related special stamps celebrate 100 years swisstopo flight service and show how important bird’s eye views are for Switzerland. The focus is on the Twin Otter the workhorse of the swisstopo flight service. When you’re holding a Swiss topographical or hiking map, you rarely think about how it was created. It’s a journey that takes us high up in the sky to 7,500 metres above sea level, where Carlo Bosco can be found. He is part of the swiss topo flight service, flying for around 70 hours a year to capture Switzerland anew, image by image. His work place is the robust Twin Otter, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year.
