Every year during Yom Ha’atzmaut (Independence Day) some of the Israeli air force bases open up their gates for the public. This year Israel

celebrated its 70th anniversary, again with some air shows and a large flypast along the coast. The OH-58B Saifan 132 of the Flying Training

School, based at Hatzerim, was one of the visitors at the open day at Haifa. (19 April 2018, Leonard van Teeffelen)
