This IAF B707 came to Prague to fly the remains of Martin Davidovich for burial in Israel. After surviving Auschwitz and Mauthausen contcentration camps, Davidovich (born 1927) joined the Czech Brigade in 1948, established in Czechoslovakia with the aim of training soldiers for Israel. He was killed during a training exercise, and in 2001, the IDF decided to officially recognize him as a fallen soldier, the first fallen Israeli paratrooper.
