• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Great work! The "Israeli" F-84Fs certainly is an interesting story. Who did they think they were tricking...?

There was nothing tricking or secret about that at all! As EC 1 was based in Israel, at Lod International Airport , ( today better known as Ben Gurion International Airport), fear excisted that Israeli AAA could accidently mistaken the French aircraft for Egytian ones, trying to land on Lydda. Hence the Israeli national insignia on the F-84F's. :very_drunk:

EC 3 werebased in Israel as well, but later in the conflict ( while retaining their French national insignia).


Cheers
