"KKL-JNF and the Israeli Air Force Museum are like twin brothers," said Yaakov Terner, founder and head of the museum and former mayor of Beersheva.

The ceremony, which took place on Monday, July 23, was emceed by Andy Michelson, KKL-JNF Chief of Protocol, who greeted the guests and told them a bit about KKL-JNF's history and present-day activities.

Terner described the group: "The air cadets are here as part of an exchange program that is a project of the Israeli Air Force and other air forces the world over. They come here to learn about Israel and are hosted by members of the Israeli Air Force, who accompany them on their visit. Planting trees is the highlight of their visit to the museum, which will conclude with a guided tour during which they will be learning about the history of the Israeli Air Force."
