Flying over Israel

Here are some souvenir images from my one day flying over Israel on a Cessna 172.
Hoping from one airport to the next with unique views over the country.

All the air space of Israel is strictly controlled with specific assigned transponder code
and constant communications with the TCA control.
But that was really fun on that sunny day in May 1977.
My co-pilot was an old friend, who happened also to be an aeronautical engineer.
