I spent some time with the IDF in 1999 - F-4s used the runway right behind the hangar I worked in. Every morning we'd take coffee break and watch them take off for patrols (or bombing runs).
A friend of mine drove a yellow VW beetle when we were at HAFB. He’d drive out and park on the service road behind where the jets took off. They’d come right over the top of us when landing. The tower was pretty close. I don’t know why they didn’t come out and run us off.
