I believe the IDF still have patriot missile blocks in operation. I doubt much could fly underneath the Patriot radar to make an attack.

The IDF are the best pilots in the middle east, with the Kuwaiti's a close second.

The Arabs are known to throw their hands in the air when they believe a crash is inevitable and start praying to allah, our flight instructors used to laugh like h3ll when they would do that.

I heard it was a standing joke among the instructor pilots at Laughlin, that they used to tell their Iranian student pilots, that in an emergency, always break left. They figured we would be fighting these guys someday anyway, so they wanted to always know exactly what the Iranians would do.
