Israeli Astronaut...did anyone mention this?
From the Jerusalem Post:
Ramon, 48, is a career fighter pilot who bombed the Iraqi nuclear reactor in 1981, a senior official said.
The attack, in which eight F-16 warplanes obliterated the French-built Osirak reactor near Baghdad, was a milestone in Israeli aviation history because the planes flew over enemy Arab territory for hours without detection. The pilots flew in a tightly bunched formation to send off a radar signal like that of a large commercial airliner.
Other interesting background here as well.
