  F-16I
The aircraft can be distinguished by its removable conformal fuel tanks (CFTs), which add 2,271 litres of fuel to the aircraft's internal load, increasing mission range and endurance and reducing dependence on inflight-refuelling aircraft.
The aircraft are equipped with FLIR (forward-looking infrared) viewers, for target designation, and features increased external fuel capacity in conformal fuel tanks, increasing the aircraft range to 800 miles (1,500 km).
In its formal notification to Lockheed Martin, the Israeli government said the decision was based on recommendations of the Director-General of the Ministry of Defense, the Chief of the General Staff of the Israeli Defense Forces, and the Commander of the Israel Air Force.

 Israel Aircraft Industries - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Israel Aircraft Industries or IAI is Israel's prime aerospace and aviation manufacturer, producing aerial systems for both military and civilian usage.
In addition to local construction of fighter aircraft, IAI also builds civil aircraft (for Gulfstream, on the G100/G150 and G200) and performs local maintenance of foreign-built fighters.
Although the IAI main focus is aviation and high-tech electronics, it also manufactures military system for ground and naval forces.

The aircraft would launch from the submarine's missile silo, fly its mission and then return to the area of the submarine where an unmanned submersible recovery vehicle would retrieve the aircraft and return it to the sub.
Officials claimed that the unmanned aircraft were almost always available overhead and that the aircraft permitted superior levels of intelligence information, as well as joint command and control and precision strike capabilities.
Operating aircraft at the altitudes in this region of the atmosphere (called "near space") is challenging because combustion is difficult and the altitudes are too low to sustain a vehicle in a low earth orbit.

 israeli air force miscellaneous aircraft
Originaly developed as a visual and photographic aircraft, the strides made in the field of airborne tactical reconnaissance have packed the airframe with sensors and other electronic equipment.
They were central to the Israeli victory in the air battles over the Bekaa Valley during which over 90 Syrian fighters were downed for the loss of no Israeli aircraft.
The Hawkeyes were also the linchpin of the operation in which the IAF destroyed the SAM array in the Bekaa, coordinating the various stages of the operation, vectoring planes into bombing runs and directing intercepts.

 AeroMech - Worldwide Leader in RVSM Certification and Support
An RVSM Group is defined as a group of aircraft of nominally identical design and build with respect to all details that could influence the accuracy of height keeping performance.
Aircraft operators can secure RVSM approval by purchasing the applicable STC and implementing the instructions and/or procedures specified therein.
Non-Group aircraft are defined as aircraft for which an operator applies for RVSM approval on the characteristics of the unique airframe rather than on a group basis.

 The Bekaa Valley Air Battle   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Israelis regarded the newly emplaced SAMs as a violation of a tacit Syrian-Israeli agreement regarding the Syrian presence in Lebanon and as a threat to vital air reconnaissance.
Although the Israelis threatened to remove the missile batteries by force, the crisis was defused by diplomatic means; Syrian missiles and troops, however, remained in Lebanon.
Israeli aircraft could thus fire shots at their Syrian opponents--often undetected from launch until impact--and deny the Syrians any opportunity to evade or return fire.

The first such attempt resulted in the Israel Aircraft Industries (IAI) Kfir (Lion Cub), a multi-role fighter developed from the Mirage 5, of which a total of 212 were produced.
Standard practice with high performance jet aircraft is to provide a second seat for conversion training by shoehorning it in, normally at the expense of fuel or avionics, or both.
A clause included in the Israeli government's decision to cancel the Lavi programme on 30 August 1987 stated that the development of the third Lavi prototype (Lavi B-03) would continue under Israeli Ministery of Defence (MoD) funding to test the avionics fit of the Lavi.

F-21A was the designation given to 25 Israel Aircraft Industries Kfir C.1 fighters that were leased by the US Navy and US Marine Corps from Israel for dissimilar air combat training.
However, at the end of the Six-Day War in 1967, the government of France under President Charles de Gaulle underwent a change in its foreign policy, and decided to embargo the delivery of the batch of Mirage 5Js that the IDF/AF had ordered and which were already built and ready for delivery to Israel.
To avoid identification confusion between Israeli- and Arab-piloted Mirages, the IDF/AF Mirage/Nesher aircraft were painted with large yellow/fl triangles on their wings and tails.
