#1 I recently saw a documentary on the raid. It's amazing the chutzpah (in the best sense of the word) of the plan and the pilots.

Apparently they buzzed King Hussein's yacht near Aqaba at about 100 ft on their way out - purely coincidentally. As they flew almost the whole way at 100 ft, lots of other people saw them but didn't know what to think. The ones that did know what to think were too flabbergasted or incompetent to do anything about it.

Truly an op for the ages.
