Slater Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Interesting tail marking. Are there decals on the market for this unit? https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/israel-stands-up-new-adir-squadron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fukuryu Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 (edited) Too recent. Give some time and I bet Isradecal will release them. Good to see the "First Jet" Squadron up and running again. Not a fan of the "3D" style of insignia, but there is a decal for an F-16 by Armycast (bottom one): Edited July 6, 2021 by Fukuryu Squadron name corrrected. Don't post late at night...

Fukuryu Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 How things have turned over the years; the 117 started as the highest tech squadron in the IDFAF with Meteor F.8 in 1953 while the 116 was an OTU with hand-me-down P-51 from the 101 three years later. Now 116 (together with 140) are at the top and 117 becomes the OTU (kind of...). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even today trying to make sense of Shahaks tail numbers based on graphical evidence is an exercise in frustration. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
