SWISS 777 touch and goes @ Palma de Mallorca

[SVX]

Hi All,

I was at a meeting by Palma de Mallorca airport yesterday and saw a SWISS 777 perform about a dozen touch and goes; I was wondering what the operational purpose would likely to be for so many?

There is some youtube footage here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E33bGxedZxA

Thanks for the replies - I'm guessing that there would've been several pilot/co-pilot teams onboard then. Anyhow, was great to see, made for quite the distraction.

Swiss have always had heavily "branded" and slightly outre duty free.

I wonder if this represents a return to profitability - it was quite a few years since I was commuting weekly on Swiss, but didn't remember ever really seeing many long haul aircraft parked off at ZRH. Does anyone know which aircraft these are replacing?

The Swiss Air Force are in the video, it must have been shot during normal office hours as they aren't on duty overnight or at weekends

- That's a bit unfortunate
