From 2017 (YouTube Version): Remembrances Of An Israeli Air Force Test Pilot

Early in 2016, ANN contributor Maxine Scheer traveled to Israel, where she had the opportunity to sit down with retired Israeli Air Force Col. Danny Shapira, who served 25 years in the Israeli Air Force. Shapira was among the first pilots for the Israeli Air Force, which was formed shortly after the State of Israel was established in 1948. He and several others, including some Americans and pilots from other countries, went to Czechoslovakia to train in Avia S-199 aircraft, a variant of the Bf 109. The pilots and the aircraft brought back from Czechoslovakia were instrumental in holding off Arab attacks and cementing Israel as a sovereign state.

EAA Celebrates Legendary Career of the Thunderbolt

The A-10 Thunderbolt II, better known as the A-10 Warthog, has been on display at EAA’s Oshkosh AirVenture for nearly 20 years. The aircraft has been a consistent favorite, performing demonstration flights almost every year since its debut. Unfortunately for the Warthog’s fan club, however, the EAA has confirmed that 2024 will be its last hurrah at AirVenture. To celebrate the Warthog’s 47 years of service and impressive achievements, Oshkosh AirVenture is hosting a Heritage flight during Day 1 of the week-long event. It, of course, features the A-10 demonstration team, along with F-16 Vipers, the Warbirds, and a Chuters Skydiving Team. Many are disappointed to see it go, but we wish it an exciting last few years and a happy retirement afterward.

Gallaher first became acquainted with this airplane in the late 1970s when it was being operated as a fire suppression aircraft. He described it as being like an, “Old knuckleheaded Harley that makes noise, rattles, and shakes.”
