BLACKHAWK HELICOPTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Blackhawk helicopters start the show with a flypast of the flag of Israel and the flag of the Israel Defence Forces.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

NORTH AMERICAN HARVARD TRAINING AIRCRAFT<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Harvard was the standard fighter training aircraft for Allied Forces in WWII. As a result of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada, abandoned yellow Harvards could be seen on many a rural Canadian farm property in the decades immediately after the war.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>HARVARD HIGH SPEED TURN<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>AH-64 ATTACK HELICOPTER<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>C-130 PREPARES FOR AN AIR DROP<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>C-130 AIR DROP<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>UP, UP AND AWAY!<\/strong><\/p>\n

An F-15 roars into the sky.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>F-15 IN HIGH SPEED PASS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>ACROBATIC TEAM<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>KC-135 REFUELING F-16s<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>F-35<\/strong><\/p>\n

To the enthusiastic response of the audience an F-35 stealth fighter roars above the crowd in a grand finale. Israel claims to be the first nation to have flown the F-35 in anger. Most probably took part in the destruction of an Iranian weapons dump in south Lebanon a couple of weeks ago.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

POSTSCRIPT:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Times of Israel published the following image of an F-35 flying with complete indifference and impunity\u00a0 over Beirut a couple of days ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A Russian Sukhoi jet from Syria flew into Israeli airspace over the Golan Heights\u00a0 today and was shot down by a Patriot missile.<\/strong><\/p>\n
