Swiss Air Force displays
The shooting event is officially called Axalp Flugvorführungen der Schweizer Luftwaffe (Swiss Air Force Displays). For years they took place in the second week of October. Potentially this can impact the conditions on the mountain a little bit. This is due to the fact that the chance of snowfall on the summits increases with every day that passes in October. I am currently trying to find out if the change of date has to do with COVID-19 or something else. I will update as soon as I know more.
