bully boys...and bringing it back to aviation!!

Just as a postscript, to my earlier ramblings, last November whilst on a night time IFR departure out of BEY, I was passing FL180, when some Hot Shot Israeli Pilot decided to formate 100 metres away in my 2 o'clock position, and let off chaff flares............yeh really clever......frightenened the C**p out of my passengers,and me too.......and of course there was to be no retribution at all Tel Aviv wo0uld have just said mind your own business, as they are wont to do......is this the action of a fair democratic state, allowing it's military pilots to go spooking Civilian Aircraft, of a Neutral country registration, in some other countries Airspace......I think not.....can you imagine the depth and smell, if members of the French Airforce started doing that in LHR Airspace.........plus the fact of course that they may have opposition.......whereas the Lebanese are not so fortunate
