Historic mission: First jets kill over Israel
 
After IDF attacks on terrorists bases (Fedayoon) in the Gaza strip on August 1955, the EAF start penetrating the aerial borders of Israel. On September 1, 1955, a formations of four Vampires has crossed the border into Israel, northern to the Gaza Strip.
Captain Aharon Yoeli in a Meteor FR-9 (no. 36) and Captain Yoash Tzidon his wingman, from the 117 first jet squadron, were inside the cockpit, on the runway of Hatzor AB, in an intercept standby.
As soon as the aerial control unit has identified the invasion, the two Meteors were scrambled. They were vectored into an intercept course with the approaching EAF Vampires.
During the airfight that follows, over the Mediterranean Sea coast, near Ashkelon, two Vampires were killed by Aharon Yoeli in Meteor 36.
The EAF command soon announced that, two Vampires on a training mission had mid air collision.
This was the first jet kill ever, by the Israeli Air Force, and the first air kill since the 1948 war of Independence.

Historical missions for SF2 Israel:
(Updated from WOI mission)
 
The Ace of Aces
 
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-21 Egyptian aircrafts waiting in a perfect ambush. After 3 of the Neshers returned to base, Epstein fought alone against 11 Migs. The results of the battle were: 4 Migs-21 downed by the Israeli Ace.
 
The full story of this battle is in the Giora Epstein Story.txt file.
 
 
To install:
 
Unrar
Copy the msm files into the mission folder of SF2 Israel.
 
You can play Giora Epstein's mission either in normal or hard difficulty. The hard mission is very challenging.
You can also play the 'crazy mig' pilot role. Remember if you are playing the Egyptian pilot, don’t engage the Neshers on sight, lure them into the waiting ambush first.
 
I invite everybody who plays the mission to post (in the announcements topic), how many Mig's kill you've got in normal/hard mission.
