IAF overfly Auschwitz death camp, 04/09/2003

Israeli F-15s, originally invited to Poland to celebrate the Polish Air Force's 85th birthday, were escorted during the flight by two Polish air force fighter jets. The ceremony ignored marginal protests and heavily overcast Polish skies.

In the cockpits, the Israeli aircrews carried the names of all those recorded murdered in Auschwitz on this date exactly 60 years ago. They had picked the names out of the records at the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Jerusalem prior to flying to Poland.

As the jets zoomed by at 300 knots an hour, formation leader Brig.-Gen. Amir Eshel read out the following statement, which was broadcast on the ground: "We pilots of the Air Force, flying in the skies above the camp of horrors, arose from the ashes of the millions of victims and shoulder their silent cries, salute their courage and promise to be the shield of the Jewish people and its nation Israel."

אנו טייסי חיל-האוויר
בשמי מחנות ההשמדה,
קמנו מאפר מיליוני הקורבנות,
נושאים את זעקתם האילמת,
מצדיעים לגבורתם
ומבטיחים להיות מגן לעם היהודי ולארצו ישראל

Among those on the ground was a contingent of 140 IDF officers who were selected to visit Europe's death camps. Following the fly past, the jets, the most lethal aircraft in the IAF's arsenal, landed back at Radom air base, refueled and set out on the 1,600 nautical mile route back to Israel.

Gurkha don't mess with 'em

No surprises here....unrivaled gallantry while non-nonchalantly mocking at death is just another name for Gorakha.
