40 Years...These are built in 1970s

Thank's for the clarification!
Was down Marine Drive to video today's fly-past and most of those present were screaming "MiG! MiG" when the F7's were going by

How old is the Kfir that currently in the operation? How many Kfirs were initially added to the SLAF fleet?

Happy Independence Day ! 🙏

Only 3 F-7 aircraft, 2 F-7GS and 1 FT-7 trainer. Hopefully only two of them will fly on the Independence Day along with the Kfir, but there might be a possibility of all 3 F-7s also flying instead of 2.

is only one kfir operational(only one??-weird)

Nope.. Only once, and then finished.
