IDF F-15 fighter jets escorted an American B-52 bomber through Israel's skies on its way from the Gulf earlier today. The joint flight shows our close cooperation with the @usairforce and the importance of maintaining Israel's security & stability in the Middle East. 🇮🇱🇺🇸

Proud & sad to unveil the last new 100 Sqn tail art.😢 It depicts the ‘blood and brains’ flag acquired during WWI, which became the skull & crossbones crest. Red represents 100’s Red Air role. Blue and yellow are the Sqn colours. Post closure, XX221 is designated to @rafredarrows
