To be or not to be?

Revell 1/72 scale F-35i "Adir"

October 7th, 2023 changed many things in Israel; on that day, we learned that our existence as Jews living in Israel is not guaranteed. Since that date, Israel is at war against Islamic terrorists and armies we have been at war with since 1929 and some who have risen anew. In addition to this armed conflict, a war has been waged against Jews world wide, an anti-semitic war aimed to silence and delegitimize Israel's right to exist.

So how does this connect with building model airplanes? As a regular contributor to the British model magazine, Scale Aircraft Modelling, articles I've submitted for publication, showing airplanes from the current conflict have been put aside. Maybe Israeli Air Force airplanes are too "sensitive" at this time, maybe there are new kit releases that must be promoted, maybe the scale is less preferable, maybe, maybe, maybe.... Maybe it's time to return to YOAVIATION web site, a site that will be dedicated to modelers building model airplanes of Israeli Air Force.

To keep an this internet site alive, I'll need contributions, both money and articles. With time, I'll seek sponsorship that will help me keep this site alive. So I'm reaching out to my "2020 Covid" subscribers, to be or not to be?
