Colonel Tzahik was one of the first pilots and senior commanders in the Air Force in the early years of the corps.

During his service, Tzahik served as the commander of Squadron 101 ("The First in Battle"), the commander of Squadron 105 ("The Scorpion") the first commander of Squadron 107 ("Knights of the Orange Tail"), and Squadron 116 ("Southern Lions") during the Sinai War. He led a series of operations, the most daring and famous of which was the cutting of the Egyptian army's telephone wires in Sinai using the squadron's Mustang (P-51) aircraft, which enabled the secrecy and success of 1956 "Operation Kadesh."

Colonel Tzahik commanded the flight school during the pioneering period of the first decade of the Air Force's existence. He commanded the Air Force delegation to Uganda and led the creation of air relations with African countries. 

The Air Force bows its head and salutes Tzahik and participates in the family's grief. Of blessed memory!
