Guess so. But I think they are mainly used for training.

I was trained on F-4's back in the early 80's and am suprised to see the photo of them still being used. Not a bad thing though, the Wild Weasles are quite solidly built. They were well maintained and probably have many years of life left in them.

We used to joke about the fact that with enough thrust, even a Brick can fly.

In these troubled times, friends of Israel around the world are looking for tangible ways to share their feelings with our Israeli soldiers and also to support the Israeli economy. From this site you can send Pizza and Soda* and now for the summer, ice cream, to active duty soldiers who, day after day, are fighting terror and protecting the Jewish people.

ok, we need someone who can guestimate their altitude over the camp.

A little hard to tell, but I'd guess at about 500 meters AGL. That's about a third of the 5000 feet requested, which is around 1500 meters.

Those are just great photos, yonif! Thanks! The one of the 'flyover' gives me goosebumps when I even THINK of it!

Thanks, Yoni. I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again: The IDF continues to be the vanguard and visible representation of Jewish dignity, freedom, and sovereignty in the sight of a hostile and sullen world. May they keep standing tall!

SHALOM!

I am very Proud of the IDF and ALL of Israel's Military.

And that picture of the IAF flying over a Nazi death camp in Poland, is a Reminder that: WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

GOD BLESS the IDF and ISRAEL, and GOD BLESS AMERICA and our MILITARY and TROOPS ALL over the WORLD who FIGHT Selflessly for our FREEDOM and SAFETY.

Please take time to THANK and BLESS A VET TODAY:

11 - 11 -03, and PRAY FOR OUR TROOPS in harms way.

FREEDOM is Not Free, it is Purchased by the BLOOD of those who gave their ALL, their Lives and Limbs for Liberty.
