(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - 56 years after he went down over Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), the remains of Israel Air Force pilot Lt. Yakir Naveh have been discovered, the IDF said on Tuesday. In 1962, Naveh, 23 and newly married, was an air force instructor flying low over the Kinneret with IAF cadet Oded Kuton who was the pilot, when the plane hit the water. The pilot's seat with Kuton still strapped into it was found almost a year later, but the IDF has searched for Naveh for decades. His funeral will take place on Nov. 13.
