BT: You almost got it right BT : It's the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II for the Israeli Air Force as the F-35I "Adir".
Great photo you shot there what plane where you in an updated ''Spitfire'?


A senior Israeli air force official stated, "the aircraft will be designated F-35I, as there will be unique Israeli features installed in them." The United States initially refused to allow the integration of Israel's own electronic warfare systems into the aircraft's built-in electronic suite. However, Israel planned the introduction of a plug-and-play feature added to the main computer to allow for the use of Israeli electronics in an add-on fashion, and to fit its own external jamming pod.In July 2011, it was reported that the U.S. had agreed to allow Israel to install its own electronic warfare systems and missiles in its F-35s in the future.

Currently, the IAF operates 20 F-35 (Adir) and uses them in combat. One of the key capabilities of the F-35 is its capability to absorb electronic signals from radars and air defense systems and to quickly classify them, geolocate them, and display them to the pilot. Then the aircraft can distribute that data to other combatants

I'm coming round to thinking that the cause of this explosion was accidental, or negligence at worst. Whst is clear is that this storage facility has been there a for long while and the Israelis have known about it for a long while. Thus if Israel wanted it gone, it would have been destroyed years ago. Unless something has changed and it's contents had suddenly become an imminent threat to Israel, I can't see why they would wait for years to attack it. When Israel perceives a threat to it's security it tends not to sit on it's hands or twiddle it's thumbs for years, which makes me think this was a tragic accident, even if an entirely predictable one.

He just thinks that it is either a train coming or a it's a F-35 (Adir) coming in to land ---I'm sure that he will let us know!

Just if you want to know? The Hebrew word Adir (אַדִּיר) means :great, powerful, mighty;....(slang) marvelous, wonderful, impressive
