46 Aviation Warbirds
46 Aviation offer Warbird operation services to private and company investors, whether it’s for an aircraft that is already in an airworthy condition or for a total project restoration. We provide a complete operational service, managing the restoration, it’s maintenance, administration, documentation, hangarage, sourcing of parts and of course it’s air-time.
If you have not already made your Warbird investment, we are also able to advise on sourcing aircraft(s) and can aid you in the purchasing process, as well as organising the collection and transportation to either Sion or to the aircraft’s site of restoration/ maintenance. The aircraft are hangared in a secure, clean and climate controlled hangar based at 46 Aviation’s home airport Sion, where they are kept operational and well preserved keeping an important piece of history in good condition.

Bücker Bü 131AMP “Jungmann”
HB-URF
The Bücker Jungmann oozes vintage charm as it makes a graceful demonstration of aerobatic aerial ballet. This aircraft brings a romantic nostalgic feel to your event and is a pure delight to watch.
The German Bücker Jungmann served as a training aircraft used by the Luftwaffe in World War II. Production licenses were granted to Switzerland, where this particular Bücker was built in 1939 and it was used as a training aircraft for Swiss Airforce Pilots.
