Life as an Israeli F-16 Pilot


This is really interesting sort of journal of an Israeli Major who flies F-16s. He goes through basically what his daily routine during combat operations are like as flies 20,000 feet over his Hezbollah targets.

He says one thing that I think is very true in this modern world of 24 hour news and political tacticians.
"Hitting the target is expected, no misses are acceptable. There aren't any congratulations for a well-performed mission. Only a hammer on the head if something goes wrong."
