Yaaaaahhhhh Yaaahhhhhh Yahhhhhhhhh
I grew up with those planes!! That plane was one of major reasons why Israel's existence was saved during Yom Kippur war.
Many thanks for your very kind post containing IAF plane. I believe some Israeli F-4Es were first planes in Israeli air force history to have painted shark teeth. One of famous comments on that IAF plane is that it could carry THREE TIMES more bomb load than B-17 Flying Fortress!! BTW, IAF did have three B-17 Flying Fortresses used extensively in 1948 War Of Independence.
Three out of all F-4Es in entire Israeli Air Force fleet were specially designed to carry atomic bombs. Spy satellites operated by America's NSA spotted those three standing on alert standby next to atomic bombs during 1973 Yom Kippur war.
