Just by hearing these nicknames, an ordinary Israeli can easily find out the origin of each pilot. The father of the "elite" was a hero of the Israeli Independence War in 1949. Then he became an air force pilot, and he shot down many USSR-made Mig jet fighters of Egyptian and Syrian air force during the three Middle East wars in 1956, 1967 and 1973. In 1991 he was appointed the Air Force commander and supervised “the Operation Solomon”. Operation Solomon was an unprecedented operation to transfer 10,000 Jews isolated in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, to Israel during the Ethiopian Civil War. The operation code name was after the ancient history of "Solomon and the Queen of Sheba". He was promoted to the rank of general and still keep a prominent position as a government and military advisor.

 

The "elite" was an Ashkenazi. Ashkenazi is a Jew who originally lived in Germany. His father and grandfather were sent to Nazi concentration camps. His grandfather died in the Holocaust. His father was also destined to be sent to the gas chamber, but the war was over. He was rescued from the concentration camp when he was young. He emigrated to Israel in a Zionist movement aimed to establish Jewish homeland. He got acquainted with the same Ashkenazi woman there and "elite" was born.
