The Israeli Air Force

Fighter Pilot Podcast

05-08-2024 • 1 hr 10 mins

Beyond the U.S. military, the Israeli Air Force is arguably the most significant, combat-tested military air arm globally in the post-Cold War era. Yet little is known about this reclusive force.

On this episode, guest host Ken 'Primetime' Katz interviews retired IAF officer Eyal Shay Shenkman about the equipment, training, and operations of the IAF, focusing on his career and experiences from 1975 through 2000.

A former F-4, F-15, and F-16 navigator, Shenkman is a rarity, having been among the few to transition to pilot, flying the A-4 and F-16, and the only pilot we know of to then convert back to navigator.
