Today going to be very busy, with two highlights of the trip being visited. Before we even left the hotel, a few aircraft were noted inbound as well as outbound from Ben Gurion, plus a few helicopters working along the coast and past the hotel. This morning was set aside for the airport ramp tour […]
We were advised that this airfield was not always friendly, so we initially viewed the aircraft on the ramp from distance. We then drove the two van’s to the main gate and had a quick look from the perimeter fence, where all aircraft, except the wrecked one were easily identified. No one bothered us as […]
After a disappointment earlier in the day, that being with regard to the Hatzerim Israeli Air Force Museum being closed due to security reasons, we moved on to a light field……………. We would return to the museum! When we arrived at Beersheba (Local spelling Be’er Shiva) no one was about, however whilst walking to the […]
