Historical Significance:
The F-15D Baz #957 achieved three air-to-air victories during the 1982 Lebanon War, cementing its reputation as a formidable fighter. Notably, on May 1, 1983, the aircraft collided with an A-4 Skyhawk during a training mission, resulting in significant damage. Remarkably, the pilot, Zivi Nedivi, and navigator, Yehoar Gal, managed to regain control and safely landed at Ramon Airbase despite losing part of the right wing. After extensive repairs at Tel Nof, the F-15D returned to service and later participated in additional combat operations, further proving its resilience and effectiveness.
