A get-lucky visit to the new building of Air Paradive, where the owner intends to house part of his collection, creating a lovely aviation museum with some real gems on display. Outside, there is some more hardware in the shape of a Tzukit, MiG-23 and various Do-28B1's. In a 2010 article which I found online, the owner mentions his intention to restore all the aircraft one by one. In the background of this photo, the frame of 4X-AAR (Fairchild F-24.J Argus, c/n 3400) is hanging on the right side against the wall. 4X-GHD (Schreder HP-18, c/n 60-2) should also be present but I did not see it during the visit. The Cessna Caravan in the foreground is still active and used by Air Paradive.

This 1997 built Grand Caravan first flew for six years as N103VE with Viking Express before being sold to Air Paradive in May 2003. Air Paradive owns and operates the HaBonim airstrip, located 20km south of Haifa and running parallel next to the Tel Aviv - Haifa railway. The company was founded by a former Israel AF F-16 pilot but it is THE skydive center in Israel, with the very nice beach close by. That's what keeps the Caravan busy, but leaves no time to add a nicer color to the airplane...
