Several foreign pilots will join the Israeli Air Force for the annual Independence Day flyover on Wednesday.
The Israel Defense Forces says aircraft from the United States, Germany, United Kingdom, and Italy will participate in the flyby, “as a sign of partnership between the countries and their unique relationship with the State of Israel.”
“The foreign planes will fly in Israel’s skies, with some of them accompanied by Israeli Air Force planes, as an expression of the cooperation and close relationship between the countries,” the IDF adds.
The Air Force displays will be made up of an aerobatics show — including fighter jets showing a dogfighting simulation — and a flyby.
The flyover, marking Israel’s 75th anniversary, will begin at 9:30 a.m. on April 26, and last until 2:30 p.m. The IAF will publish a full list of flyover sites and times in the coming days.
