'Swiss Red Arrows' apologise for mistaken display over yodelling festival

The lead pilot apologises for his "very embarrassing" mistake, but the yodellers are said to have enjoyed the unexpected show.



The Swiss defence ministry has apologised after an aerial display team performed a fly-by over the wrong event, surprising people at a yodelling festival.

Jets from the Patrouille Suisse, likened to the Red Arrows, were supposed to fly over Langenbruck in northwest Switzerland on Saturday, to honour the centenary of a Swiss flying pioneer.

But the squadron leader, Gunnar "Gandalf" Jansen, confused by the sight of a marquee, directed the team to fly over the nearby town of Mumliswil instead, which was hosting the 31st Northwest Yodelling Festival.

3. Someone obviously called in a fly over to drown out the yodeling. n/t
