Hidden Heritage

摘要

Hatzor Air Base, near Ashkelon, home to a pair of Israel Defense Force fighter units, has its origins in 1942 as RAF Qastina. Today it reverberates to the sound of F-16C and D Fighting Falcons of 101 and 105 Squadrons. Within the station, hidden from view from the perimeter, is a small collection covering a broad spectrum of Israel's combat jets. Dramatically mounted on a plinth is one of only three examples of the Dassault Mirage ⅢCJ surviving in Israel.
