Lavi at IAF museum

Hi guys.
I found the following pix that were taken some years ago.
It grieves me that such a promising plane should languish outdoors subjected to the harsh environment. The Lavi has always been my No.1 “should have been”.
If you look at the panel fit the prototype character of the plane is undeniable.
They could at least have given it a desert camo paintjob and put it indoors. This plane deserves better. The pix belong to Serge Batoussov
