The bereaved commander wrote: “Yaniv arrived in the squadron with an impressive past as a technician with thirteen years of education, and as a graduate of the Air Force Technological College in Haifa. Already in his first days in the squadron, Yaniv distinguished himself with rare quality traits. We noticed with unusual curiosity, the desire to learn and advance in the professional field. Yaniv did achieve high professional qualifications. As a man, he stood out in the friendship and atmosphere that prevailed around him, in his peace of mind, even in times of pressure, and in the occupying smile. Yaniv also volunteered for every mission and work, including the most difficult ones. When I met him after the injury, Yaniv insisted on continuing to work on airplanes, even though he could have been discharged from work. The motive was: so as not to impose additional burden on his comrades. It is difficult for us to part, it is difficult for his comrades in the squadron, and we, the commanders, have no words of comfort for you, which you raised so devotedly. “
