| McDonnell Douglas F-4E
"Kurnas 2000". |

The F-4E, which took off on
its maiden flight on June 30th 1967, became the
leading Phantom model, with 1,389 planes built.
This model, with an additional fuselage fuel
tank, leading-edge slats for increased
maneuverability, and an improved engine, also has
an internally mounted 20mm multibarrel gun with
improved fire-control system.
In 1980 the IAF embarked upon the initial
planning phase of the project for upgrading the
plane. On 15 July 1987 the first prototype of the
improved plane took off. It was dubbed the Kurnas
2000. Kurnas 2000, which entered service in the
IAF on 09 April 1989, was different from the
original Phantom mostly in its avionics.
McDonnell Douglas and the Israeli Aircraft
Industries had both considered replacing the
J79's with Pratt & Whitney PW1120. The IAI
experimentally installed the new engines in a
Phantom, and its performance was markedly
enhanced, in terms of cruise speed and range.

| General Dynamics IF-16D
"Barak". |

The IF-16D is a two seat model
of the popular plane, it's back seat is reserved
for the Weapon System Operator.
This model was custom modified for the IAF, those
modifications required a larger and stronger
landing gear, and called for a different model
designation, thus the Israeli F- 16D was
designated as IF-16D.
The IF-16D is powered by a stronger General
Electric F110-GE-100, with an enlarged air
intake.
The first F-16D was received by the IAF, at
December 21, 1987, marked with "The First
Combat squadron" colors and the tail number
of 031.

| Fuga Magister
"Tzukit" |
Author:
Victor Egorov |
A jet powered trainer that is
used in the selection process in the IAF Flight
School and and for training cadets. It was
developed from the French Fouga Magister, that
had served the IAF as both a jet combat plane and
a trainer since 1960. The Fougas were radically
revamped by the IAI and fitted for carrying
advanced motors and equipment.
The first prototype of the Tzukit took to the air
in September of 1980, and was handed over to the
IAF in May of 1981 for initial testing. At the
IAF's request certain modifications were carried
out and included in the first serial Tzukit
planes, which were delivered to the IAF in June
of 1983. By 1986, all of the Tzukit planes
created had been delivered to the IAF.

| NORTH AMERICAN F-86A
"SABRE" |
Author:
Ed
Wilson |
The F-86, the USAF's first
swept-wing jet fighter,
made its initial flight on October 1, 1947.
The first production model flew on May 20, 1948,
and on September 15, 1948, an F-86A set a new
world
speed record of 670.9 mph.
Originally designed as a high-altitude
day-fighter,
it was subsequently redesigned into an
all-weather
interceptor (F-86D) and a fighter-bomber (F-86H).

| Bell-X1 |
Author:
Mat
Recardo |
The Bell X-1 was the first
piloted plane to fly faster than the speed of
sound. Flown by USAF Captain Charles
"Chuck" Yeager, the Bell X-1 rocketed
to supersonic speeds for the first time on
October 14, 1947, over Muroc Air Base (now
Edwards Air Force Base) in the Mojave Desert.
Prior to this historic flight, many people
thought that any plane trying to fly faster than
the speed of sound would break apart once it
reached the "sound barrier"—and
indeed, many planes that hadn't been properly
designed for such high speeds were destroyed as
they neared Mach 1. But the unique .50 caliber
bullet shape of the Bell X-1, paired with its
strong, super-thin wings and an adjustible
horizontal stabilizer, made it a perfect vehicle
for supersonic travel. As the Bell X-1 flight
proved, the speed of sound isn't a barrier at
all.

| Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia
(OV-102) |

Papini |
Shuttle Orbiter Columbia (NASA
Orbiter Vehicle Designation: OV-102) was the
first space shuttle in NASA's orbital fleet,
first flying mission STS-1 from April 12 to April
14, 1981. It was lost with all crew when it
disintegrated during re-entry on its 28th
mission, STS-107, which lasted from January 16,
2003 to February 1, 2003.
Columbia, the oldest orbiter in the Shuttle
fleet, was named after the Boston, Massachusetts
based sloop captained by American Robert Gray.

SpaceShipOne is an
experimental spaceplane, which on June 21, 2004
made the first privately-funded human
spaceflight. It is an air launched suborbital spaceplane, using a hybrid rocket motor. It has
been developed by Scaled Composites, Burt Rutan's
aviation company, in their Tier One program, with
no government funding.
