The Air Force commander at the end of his farewell speech from the position: "I was always amazed by the beauty of the country. I will never forget the sights of the sunrise, the moonlit nights, the vast skies and land. I enlisted in the Air Force 39 years ago. I have served in it all my adult life until now. Today I am setting out on a new path, crossing the sea on foot with a handful of skies in my hand. I love the State of Israel. I was privileged to be among its guardians, just like that - simply. And that is so much."
