Ramat David Israeli Air Force Base (ICAO: LLRD) is one of three principal airbases of the Israeli Air Force and is located southeast of Haifa, close to Megiddo. It was originally built in 1942 under the British Mandate and was known as RAF Ramat David. On May 26, 1948 it was turned over to the newly created Israel Defense Forces, who currently base 3 F-16 C/D squadrons and a Hughes 500MD squadron. Ramat David hosted the 117^th Hasilon Harishona or First Jet squadron, which was founded June 7, 1953. It operated Israel's first jet aircraft, which included the Gloster Meteor T7, F8, and FR9.^[1]
