-Short Attention Span Theater-
Swiss Aerobatics Team Misses Target Audience. Scares Yodellers.
2019-07-10
[BBC] The Patrouille Suisse were due to fly over Langenbruck to honour the centenary of a Swiss flying pioneer.

The squadron - a Swiss version of the UK's Red Arrows or the US Blue Angels - was due to perform for the 100th anniversary of the death of Oskar Bider. Bider was the first person to fly over the Alps in both directions, a feat he accomplished in 1913 at the age of 22. The aviator was born in Langenbruck,
which the aces were supposed to fly over
but the squadron leader saw the tent set up for the yodelling festival
Yupp
in Mumliswil, roughly 6km (4 miles) west of the town, and misdirected the jets.
I hope they had fun. I did reading about it.

Ah'l bet the Swiss Bikini Team was terrorized.

#5  One time skiiing in Zermatt, I had a nice 3rd floor room looking NE where on the edge of a small mountain were two large Alp Horns being played. It sent the sound down the valley and scared the shit out of skiiers returning to down a few at the pubs.

#4  It made me realize, how does one tell when a yodeler is scared?

Still trying to figure that out as it still sounds the same to me...

#2  Moved to Page 3 because this is not a War on Terror story. No jihadis, no narcos, no Antifa, and no attempt by such parties to harm, leading to blood, explosions, or deployed weaponry of any sort. I also put your in-lines on a separate line between the lines of text, Dron64066 — it’s easier to read that way.

#1  Yodeling is a crime against humanity. They should have strafed them....
