Historical Wings over Israel missions:

First fighter squadron 101 Neshers vs. Egyptian Mig-21.

Colonel Giora Epstein is a retired colonel in the Israeli Air Force (IAF) believed to have shot down more jet aircraft than any other pilot. Epstein was credited with 17 kills, all against Egyptian aircraft. With seventeen confirmed kills, Giora Epstein remains the world's top scoring jet fighter pilot making him the "ace of all aces".

During Yom Kippur War, October 20, 1973; already a double Ace with 10 kills, Giora Epstein maneuvers his 101 Squadron Nesher after a decoy of 2 Mig-21 Egyptian aircrafts. On the deck are 16 Mig-21s waiting under the Israeli radar coverage, in a perfect ambush. After 3 of the Neshers had to return to base, Epstein fought alone against 11 Mig-21s. The results of the battle were: 4 Mig-21s downed by the Israeli Ace.

You can play either the Israeli side, or the Egyptian side, if you have the Mig-21 add-on installed.

Remember if you are playing the Egyptian pilot, don't engage the Neshers immediately on sight, but lure them first into the waiting ambush first.

For suggestions or remarks just send me a massage.
