The IAF Aerobatic Team is the aerobatic display team of the Israeli Air Force. Until summer 2010 the team flew the IAI Tzukit, a variant of the French Fouga Magister manufactured under license by Israel Aerospace Industries. Since then the team operates four Beechcraft T-6 Texan II aircraft (#478, #484, #493, and #494).
The team typically flies demonstrations at the graduation ceremony of the IAF flight academy and on Israel's independence day. Based at Hatzerim Airbase, the team is staffed by IAF Flight Academy personnel and its pilots are active instructors.
Ido Nehoshtan, the commander of the Israeli Air Force in 2008–2012 is a former member of the team, as is Eitan Ben Eliyahu, commander of the Israeli Air Force in 1996–2000.[1]
