Page 2 of 5 As during my trip last year Tel Nof and Ramat David were on the list for visits during the Open Doors of the Israel Air Force. The static displays were quite similar to the previous ones and access was as usually only granted for Israeli citizens with the exception of foreign groups who had registered in advance for these events. But in contrast to last year this time the Air Force presented itself more liberal as all the guests have been given the permission to photograph the display. Despite all the aircraft being presented in a layout resembling the one from 2007, and obviously from all the years before, some nice additions and changes could be discovered: at Tel Nof for example one of the new Gulfstream G550 "Shavit" Special Mission aircraft for signal intelligence was in the display as well as the very first F-16I "401" acquired by the Israel Air Force that recently returned from the US where it was used for extensive testing.
