After near 4 decades of service, with the IDFAF one and only shipborne helicopter, the Airbus Helicopters AS565 Atalef is being retired, as Sikorsky MH-60R (?) are on the order book. Back when the Dauphin entereed service it was similar to the USCG HH-65A Dolphin i believe
If anyone remembers the 1992 flick with Rob Lowe, Gale Hansen, as Navy SEALS during Op Desert Shield / desert Storm, the whole movie was filmed in Israel so at 52:16, there is the original IDFAF Dauphin starring as a US NAvy helikcopter.
