Squadron 143 - IAF / IDF
"Ha'Tooky Ha'Manaf"
The Smashing Parrot Squadron
Défense aérienne / Attaque
 |
|
The Parrot squadron was a new unit formed in late 1979 specifically to operate the Kfir C-2, becoming the fifth and last unit to convert to this type. The identity for this unit is 143 (Reserve) Squadron. Some of its aircraft were later converted to C-7 standard. Four TC-2 trainers were also used. Since 1987, the Kfir has been gradually withdrawn from IDF/AF service, leaving the Parrot squadron as one of the last operators of the Kfir. It currently operates Kfir C-7s from Uvda.
