This Starfighter is located inside the traffic circle next to Grenchen Airport.

The plane is painted as a US Air Force plane, but with the Breitling logo in the tail. But it looks that is originally was an Italian fighter with the registration MM6830, that was later used by the aerobatics team Breitling Fighters. It was erected here in 2006, painted in blue, and was re-painted and re-registered in 2010.
