Cobras return to active duty after fatal crash
None
The IAF returned its Cobra helicopters to full operational duty, following their grounding after the fatal crash that killed Lt.-Col. Noam Ron and Maj. Erez Flekser in March.
The first flight took off from Palmahim base, with Air Force Commander Major General Amir Eshel on board. The official inquiry found that a broken tail rotor blade caused the crash. (Yoav Zitun)
