Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

If my memory serves me well, the US has had several Kfir's on loan from Israel to serve as aggressor aircraft. This was probably one of them.


Greetz,

Hans


By the way, very nice serie of images.

The Kfir in US service was referred to as the F21 "Lion". Great pictures! I love the 707 with the Lavi nose!

Well storage does not seem to be the right word. Looking at the condition of the aiurcraft I think the word ' dump' would be more appropriate.

Nevertheless great set of pics.

Hi,

Again stunning shots!
About the USN and USMC F-21As, 25 were delivered, 13 to USMC in Israeli sand brown/green/yellow, used by VMFT-401 and 12 to USN in two tone blue/grey. Most of the Kfirs returned back in 1988/1989 and were put in storage (most of them in Ovda). Serialrange was 999 plus threeIAF digits, like 999703...

Regards,

Maurits

Is there anyone with a complete log of this beautiful museum? Seems like there are many updates. Haven't been there in 10 years but feel like going now...
