Always good to see the venerable DC-3 (and here in the Camouflage color)...!

[Coincidentally, Aharon, just last week, I was speaking with an acquaintance, who had recently returned from a (group) tour of (Israel, Egypt, Jordan)...and he was describing his experiences...quite interesting...]

Great shots, Aharon. I hope that in the upcoming MSFS, Israel and its surrounding area will have a nicer and more realistic representation than what default FSX and/or P3D offer

Any attempt to stretch fuel is guaranteed to increase headwinds
