Hi,
As "resident" spotter at Buochs LSZC, I sometimes check data and suggest corrections. What confuses non-locals is the ICAO code. Since the Mil Ops ceased at Buochs Air Base (LSMU) in 2004, the airport is referred to as Buochs (LSZC).
Several uploads post 2004 still were uploades under LSMU, hence I suggested to change to LSZC, for both, civil and airforce aircraft (the latter occasionally operate just for transport purposes through Buochs).
However, before 2004 the ICAO referrer was LSMU. Ten years later in 2014, the sleeping base was reopened for the Airforce and the Fighters took over. Some spotters were present and uploaded at the location LSMU Buochs Air Base.
Now, for some reason, I just noticed that ALL images, formerly uploaded with location LSMU, have been changed. It appears that jetphotos has dropped the ICAO code. However, there's still a few pics returning, my overviews in particular, which also have the "Registration" set to LSMU. www.jetphotos.net/showphotos.php?regsearch=LSMU
I think it's sad to see "Buochs Air Base" was just dropped completely, therefore I'm seeking for some clarification. What were the reasons to decide like this?
Thanks for any answer
Cheers Mirko
