Donìt feel offended, stay easy mate

I'm the one...

This will be a great addition for the A.4M and some Israeli models, especially combined with the avionics on this thread. Great work all guys!

Good luck mate, keep up informed all of us please!

Ubfortunately mate, the photo show the bird from the forward left qurter and the Python were carried on the right inner pylon. Will see if can send you the image. BTW the book stated that two Sparrows were carried during the mission, the photo show the forward bays empty, so I immagine that were loaded in the rear's

Sorry for the ultra late response... The book is "Israeli Phantoms - The Kurnass in IDF/AF service 1969-1988" from Double Ugly! Book The books I own always state that the Winder were Aim-9D but the -G as you said were in use with the F-15 at the time but really don't know if the Kurnass force shared the weapons with the Baz/Eagles On the Isradecals book dedicated to the F-15 Baz, the early Python adapter can be seen in some pocs but never clearly unfortunately. If remember correctely also the F-4 at first used the underpylon adapter for the Python, need to check Thanks for the podcast mate

Cannot confirm as the plane is photografed on the runway

You're right about the Sparrows A picture showing the returning pòane of Ben Ami Peri after the succesful CAP mission that signed the last Kurnass kill ( during the Lebanon War in 1982) show two Aim-9D under the left wing, the empty rails for the Python 3( no Shafrir ,offiacialy) used to downing the MiG-21 under the right wing and no Sparrows
