A New Refueling Aircraft for the Israel Air Force


[Israel Defense Forces] The Israel Air Force will receive a new refueling aircraft in 2009 - a Boeing 707 containing a refueling system - from Israel Aerospace Industries. "We are talking about a very big project that will give the IAF another refueling system," said Major Shlomi Shefer, the Head of the IAF Aerial Refueling Department. "We took the airplane used by former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and turned it into an aerial refueling plane." "The fact that the IAF will have another of these aircraft means that more planes will be able to achieve their mission. We expect this aircraft to have the ability to refuel other planes in a short amount of time."
