Not Russian

Not Russian
The forward fuselage section of an old Israeli Arkia Airlines, British Vickers Viscount turboprop airplane in a Tucson, Arizona scrapyard.
Thanks to Diane Putnam for identifying the letters as Hebrew and not Russian as I had first thought.

Fascinating! I couldn't really match the letters with Cyrillic, but found them all in Hebrew. tinyurl.com/y8hsx7qy I guess it makes more sense that an Israeli plane would be here than Russian. Still pretty weird, though! Great find.

Thanks for adding to Industrial Scenery!

Thanks for the clues Diane !!!
With some searching I found that it was from the Israeli airline "Arkia" (the ia of their logo is in red) and appears to be an old British Vickers Viscount turboprop airliner.
