Bustan (Boslik), Shaul (‘Shulik’)

Son of Alexander and Asia. He was born on September 22, 1948 in Ramat Gan. He studied at the Ora elementary school and continued his studies at the Ort Yad-Singalovski vocational high school. A diligent and thorough student on the one hand, and takes part in and initiates social activity at school on the other. He loves reading, especially in science and history. Optimistic by nature, full of joie de vivre and a wonderful sense of humor. Very honest, conscientious, devoted and loyal to his family and friends. Shaul was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces in early August 1966 and volunteered for the air force, and in fact did not think of a pilot until the enlistment order was received. After completing the course successfully, in March 1968, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant-colonel, and was assigned to one of the squadrons, and was considered a good officer in the squadron, and he was conscripted on the recommendation of his commanders to study abroad. In various positions in the IAF squadrons: pilot, assistant flight safety officer, flight safety officer, instructor, training officer, and finally the commander of the training division. And gave him the ‘Six-Day War’ and the ‘Yom Kippur War.’ “For Shaul, the Air Force was a way of life, and his adherence to his missions and duties indicates that he chose this path out of faith and recognition of its importance, “They show great initiative and willingness to help with work, willing to volunteer and help. Good for his subordinates and a personal example. A stable, disciplined and responsible officer. Dedicated and loyal to work and achieving fine results. A very good pilot, an excellent captain with great knowledge and excellent training skills. “In 1972, he was awarded the rank of Captain, and was sent to the Air Force Command and Staff Course, where he graduated cum laude, and in 1971 he married his girlfriend Zehava. Most of the time Shaul was not at home due to the demands of his job, but when he returned from work, he devoted much of his time to Assaf – playing with him, reading stories and enjoying following his development, but the family’s happiness did not last long. “(25.11.1975) Shaul fell in the line of duty, brought to rest in the military cemetery in Kiryat Shaul, and left behind a wife, Zehava, son of Assaf, daughter of Hagit Put the value after the fall), a father-Alexander (Sander) and Ahot- Nice Gerbi. In a letter of condolence to the bereaved family-commander wrote: “No words, no letters and Zionism are comforting to the loss of Saul. It seems to me that the only comfort, if any, is the fact that he loved his profession very much and appreciated the danger involved. Perhaps another consolation is the fact that Schulik was assessed by his commanders and his squadrons as a good pilot and an excellent captain. A few days before the disaster, the “pigeons plan” was finalized for the coming years, and Sholik won the position of deputy squadron commander. Won ‘, since there was an argument – the other candidates for the position were senior and very good. But it was agreed, for all of us, that Schulick was the handsome man-thanks to his skills and knowledge, and above all because of his personal qualities. I have no doubt that his qualities and professional level would advance him further in the corps. Shulik held two positions in the squadron. One formal and the other informal. The formal role – the commander of the training division – a role of great importance. And the informal role-the good spirit of the squadron. From the words of his commanders and colleagues, it is clear to me that the connection between the squadron and you is a strong and strong bond that attests to the love and prestige of its members. “
