In what is to be the largest display of aviation solidarity with Israel in history, Israel’s Association of General Aviation (IAGA) has announced what it terms the “Israel Fly-In” - scheduled to take place May 13-17. The Fly-In consists of a global delegation of pilots and airplanes taking part in a flyover across Israel.
Manning the dozens of light aircraft will be pilots from Greece, Germany, Belgium, and the United States. Participants will arrive and take-off from Haifa’s airport.
During their visit, the guests will fly their planes in Israel’s skies, accompanied by Israeli aircraft. They will compete in air navigation competitions, and will take trips around the Golan Heights, the Galilee, Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and the Negev.
The aviators will be arriving Thursday at Haifa’s airport and flying Friday morning to the Golan Heights where they will be landing at the Pik landing-field to tour northern Israel. From there participants will fly along the Jordan Valley to Masada – landing at the Masada airfield where participants will be taking local children up in their planes.
The navigation competition will then take place, culminating at Sde Dov airfield after which participants will return to their countries of origin.
The visit is being held with the blessing of the Israel Airports Authority, the Civil Flight Administration, the Israel Air Force, and the Israel Tourism Ministry.
