Forum rules
This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |
Hatzerim museum 09-05-08 (Israel planes)
the day before our visit a total of 15000 people did visit the museum!!
luckily enough all planes in the museum were cleaned before we came. The reason for this were the days to memorated the fallen soldiers and indepence of Israel of few days before our arrival.

this plane was flown by a deserted Iraqi pilot. After arrival she was used by the IDF to get pilots familiar to the MiG. After completion of their training the plane was lent to the USA for familirisation.

The stork means that the chopper was used to fly a woman who was about to have a baby

this is the plane with the most kills on her name in the world. She was flown by the IDF at 159. Later sold to South America and after study they found her back and bought her back. She is to be repainted in IDF colours.

Hi Marco,
I mean your Windows live pages sorry for that.
About the Mirage IIICJ in Argentina colors this should be former 158 and later renumbered to 758.
Was the Israeli one with 14 kills marked as '158' now? This one should have another real ID as well...
I was there in 1996 and 159 was in IAF colors, so they have two examples now. But... the planes are repainted several times and also changed colors so it is difficult to find out the real identity again....
