the pilot ejected safely to ground and sufer minor injuries

it happened in an open field south of Hevron and no other people got hurt

 

the pilot is a Cadet in adv combat training in the Israeli Air Force

the incident is probably related to a mechanical problem

and interrogation started by Dan Halutz, IAF commander, order

Was the crash today, Nesher?

 

Skyhawks, nice planes. Saw never a Skyhawk of Israel, but only a test thing of (I thought England) and two from Singapore or something.

Glad he made it out ok. Thats a tough way to learn about ejection systems. Just out of curiosity, I wonder what version of the scooter it was? A-4E maybe?

Nesher, I let you know that it was today in a free newspaper in the Netherlands to read about the planecrash. (no picture)

It was in a few lines and in a corner under a page. Maybe mine lines what I write now are longer.
