Mit der Beschaffung des De Havilland D.H. 100 Vampire begann bei der Flugwaffe das Jet-Zeitalter und die Schweiz fand Anschluss an den internationalen Standard. Die Erprobung dieses Flugzeugtyps erfolgte im Jahr 1946 mit dem Typ Mk.I. Die Auslieferung an die Truppe begann ab 1949 mit dem Typ Mk.VI in einer Auflage von 75 Einheiten mit den Immatrikulationen J-1005 bis J-1079 und erstreckte sich über gut 2 Jahre. Weitere 100 Exemplare mit den Nummern J-1101 bis J-1200 wurden ab 1951 in Emmen als Lizenzbau von De Havilland produziert.

Die Ablieferung der Maschinen aus der ersten Tranche erfolgte in Form eines Überflugs von Hatfield (GB) dem Hauptsitz der De Havilland Aircraft Company nach Emmen.

Der damalige Chefpilot im Flugzeugwerk war John Cunningham. Im zweiten Weltkrieg ein absolutes Ass unter den Jagdfliegern der Royal Air Force. So führte er mit Abstand die Rangliste der britischen Piloten bezüglich Abschüsse von feindlichen Flugzeugen an. Ein Mann mit heldenhaftem Mut und Einfallsreichtum.

Letzterer diente ihm auch beim Auftrag, im Februar 1950 die Vampire mit der Kennung J-1048 in die Schweiz zu überführen. Beseelt von der Aussicht, ein paar Tage in der Schweiz, genauer in St. Moritz zu verbringen, schmiedete er den Plan seine Ski doch gleich mit auf die Reise zu nehmen. Doch wie kriegt man ein paar Ski in das Cockpit eines Kampfjets? Gar nicht. In typisch englischer Manier band er die Ski jeweils an einem der beiden Heckausleger fest und liess den Schriftzug «Operation Snowball» auf der Turbinenhaube anbringen. Auf diese Weise entstand eine der skurrilsten Geschichten in der über 100-jährigen Geschichte der Schweizer Luftwaffe.

Die J-1048 blieb fast 2 Dekaden im Einsatz und wurde erst 1969 liquidiert.

Not Scented, but Dog Approved
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
They don't smell like peanut butter or bacon. But our dogs still love them.

If they squeaked, they would be the perfect ball!
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
I bought our 15 month old Coton several Chuck-It toys on an Amazon deal. He is incredibly playful, mischievous, and ball/toy obsessed, especially for anything that makes noise. He can also be very destructive so I love how durable most of their products are - they’re among our longest lasting toys and worth every penny. We have yet to take them to the dog park, but they’re a perfect size for sharing in plat time. And they are keeping him busy at home - that’s a good thing. The scent is subtle but strong enough for him I guess because he loves gnawing on them. If they had squeakers, they would be absolutely perfect. Hopefully Chuck-It will see an opportunity for that down the road!

Most durable fetch balls I know of.
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
These balls are the biggest balls of them all. Well, not the biggest, but the best. Every other ball she would chew up in short order and I'd be throwing her a floppy piece of rubber. She just wants to fetch, but if it's not bouncing, she can't catch it on the bounce. Got these balls in July and no damage to them. I just ordered another pair, but only because the other two somehow got stuck up in trees. We have some very old and very large oak trees so not so easy to retrieve. Hope they somehow drop someday. But in the meantime, Lassie will be happy with her new ones. Very highly recommended!

Works great for scent work! Bounce is great for air retrieve!
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo, Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
My dog doesn’t know he loves them yet but I do! They are a little softer so when we do air retrieve, I don’t have to worry as much about his teeth! I’m hoping he will learn to find them by smell vs sight. We often play in the evenings and he tends to loose his ball. Love chuck it! Right now, we have about 10 chuck it balls! The tennis balls don’t work for air retrieve! Chuckit does!!! Love the thrower too! Saves my arm!!!!

I guess the smell is offputting
Size: 2-pack, Style: Duo
My dog loves chocolate stuff. But for some reason, wasn’t a huge fan of these balls. She played with them a little bit, but they’re not her favorite.
