Does everyone in the IDF have stainless steel testes?

@Elf1606688794, well Nahumi is not exactly the average pilot - he has 14 kills total in F-4E and F-16A including F-16’s first ever kill, and was one of the F-16A formations leader during the attack on the Iraqi nuclear reactor.

You can hear him tell some of his stories (in English) here (3 part video):

Pretty sure he's the world's only F-16 ace! Thanks for sharing.

Mansoura, '73.

 

maybe the biggest air attack the Phantom ever saw. A hundred and sixty Phantoms and skyhawks leapt into the air that day.

Quality interesting interview, he remembers a big amount of details, specific numbers, differences between different models, systems etc.

Press F for Korin. Man lived my DCS  nightmare in real life by unintentionally jettisoning his missiles with his external fuel tank before the fight.
