#2 So if the flights last over 4 hours do they call the doctor, or Air Traffic Control???

#3 Don't worry Ed. Israeli pilots are well known for getting out of sticky situations.

#5 Seriously, folks. That drug was originally developed as a treatment for cardiac hypertension. It didn't work for that, but it proved to be a lifesaver for people suffering from primary pulmonary hypertension, a condition that kills or requires a heart transplant within a year or two. If the Israelis say that improving blood flow to the lungs can help their pilots, I wouldn't disagree.

At least they have a different brand name for that drug for PPH suffers. No need to embarrass them.

I had to change this post so I wouldn't run afoul of the Rantburg spam filter.

#6 Personally I would prefer them pissed and in a killing mood. Keep up the 60-1 kill ratio vs arabs they have.

#7 In the future I predict that as each mission concludes long lines of whimmins will be queuing up for Israeli pilots.
