The traditional flyover in honor of Israel’s 75th Independence Day will take place Wednesday morning and early afternoon – this year, with foreign pilots joining the celebrations.
The flyover will begin at 9:20a.m. and include fighter planes, fighter jets, refueling and cargo planes, and more. The aircraft will be flown by IAF pilots in both regular service and reserves, and Israel Police and firefighting aircraft will also take part in the events.
The IDF emphasized that it is forbidden to fly drones and model airplanes near the flyovers, since they pose a risk to the aircraft participating in the flyover and to the public watching it.
