Ahead of Switzerland’s World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina, a Swiss Airlines flight student and his flight instructor showed their support for the national team by flying an unusual route. South of Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Murten, they flew a Swiss cross and a heart.
The airline announced the stunt in a press release early Saturday evening. The two had drawn a cross and a heart in the sky, so to speak—clearly visible on the Flightradar24 platform, as a screenshot shows.
According to reports, flight student Janis Zurbriggen and his instructor Carsten Mangasser took off from Grenchen under the call sign “Hopp Schwiiz.”
