113 Squadron (Israel)

The 113 Squadron Israeli Air Force (also known as The Hornets) was formed in October 4, 1955. The Hornets were the first squadron to fly 24 of the MD450B Dassault Ouragan aircraft. Eight human losses suffered during the Six-Day War in 1967.

By January 1973 IAI Nesher replaced the Dassault Ouragans that were retiring from duty.In 1976 the squadron replaced the Nesher with the IAI Kfir C-1.The squadron was disbanded in 1987.

The squadron was reformed in Sept 1990 as the first Israeli AH-64A Apache Helicopter squadron and slowly migrated to the exclusive use of the AH-64D Apache Longbow in 2005.
