Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

I have spoken to American pilots who will never admit
that the Israelis outfly us - the furthest they will go
is to say "I wouldn't want to be up against them." It's
at this point that I usually say something soothing
like, "They have more experience than us - if you guys
had to fly as much a they do, you;d be at least just as
good." Whether it's true or not, they appreciated it. :-)

As for the jet, you bet they fixed it; for example,
Israel perfected the art of fixing damaged tanks behind
battle lines & sending them right back up. They can't
afford not to.
