MehMan 0 Posted June 2, 2008 isn't Isreal one big army camp anyway?... LOL I heard most people who turn 16 have to do national service?... I could be wrong, but I think it's mandatory that they serve three years after turning 18, I'm pretty sure it's 18. Not surprising seeing how Israel is surronded by enemies and is in almost constant state of war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
da12thMonkey 1943 Posted June 2, 2008 an apache just flew over my house in Devon UK (not seen one before), I just wanted to tell somebody bye :-) I'll see your Apache and raise you 3 Chinooks, a Merlin HC3, a Police EC135 and about 150 airliners since 9am today. Its amazing what crap flies over Central London. in a few hours. i see your 3 Chinooks, a Merlin HC3, a Police EC135 and about 150 airliners and raise you by 3 blackhaws 2 cobras 2 apahes 4 f-15c 4 f-16c and 2 ch-53d. Israel s a small place indeed. I see all that and raise you (from yesterday) 2 Typhoons, 11 Hawks (2 black and 9 red ones ), a Spitfire, Hurricane, Lancaster, de Havilland Vampire or Venon (couldn't tell), an Apache, 2 Harriers, 2 Tornado F.3, a Chinook, 2 Hercules, 3 Lynx (1 AH.7 and 1 HAS.3, 1 HMA.8), a Foland Gnat, 3 Squirrels and 2 Griffons. Helps that I live under the exit loop from Cosford Airshow. Most days I'll see about 12 Squirrels and half a dozen Griffons out of Shawbury and the Police and Air ambulance EC-135s, then every few weeks we'll get Apaches, Lynxes, Merlins, Pumas and Chinooks from there, or Tern Hill when the Royal Irish Regiment are doing exercises. Then I get the occasional rarities from Cosford, and aircraft visiting DHFS like Hueys, Panthers/Dauphins, CH-53s (German IIRC) and Cougars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
