Lufttransport Staffel 3 is a transport squadron of the Swiss Air Force .

The squadron carries as coat of arms a red number 3 whose lower end transitions into a black line and finally forms the contour of a helicopter in flight, in front of a white mountain, blue sky and gray ground.

A white line formed the number 3 with the rotor and the bow of the red helicopter hull.

Nowadays theLufttransport Staffel 3 operates the helicopter types Super Puma and EC635.

If necessary, the Lufttransport Staffel 3 also supports the civilian authorities (e.g., in police operations, in the fight against forest fires or in the case of evacuations due to avalanches) and monitoring the border on surveillance flights.
