Did you note the caption that calls the Skyhawk a "Skyhook"? :)

Which usually means it's written by a journalist for some other outfit...it's simply distributed by AP.

I know, I'm a former TV journalist whose work has ended up on AP, ABC, CNN....

Forget about the aircraft did you see the Pzkw Mk. IV!!! I knew that the Israelis had captured some on the Golan heights in 1967 and at least one was in their armor museum but never knew one was on display in a public park! I bet they will get offers for that one. I have also seen photos of a White M-3 destroyed near a northern Kibbutz in 1948 that still had loose .50 cal. shells laying around inside.

It reminds me of the many faded, beat up F-84Fs or T-33s that are still parked here and there around the local VFW or kids' playgrounds here in the US.

They didn't even try to identify the Mystere IV-As.

I guess playground safety isn't an issue in Israel!

I noticed that as well. Something of a find there.

There ain't nothing in the world that can destroy an airplane faster than a bunch of kids in a playground. The "gorilla luggage test" has nothing on them!
