Shaul Gilboa was born 14-2-1946 in Kibbutz Mishmar Haemeq to Frida (Kiperman) and Rahamim (Shbero) Gilboa. From the Rina's Five he joined the Alumah Group during the Third Grade and he was the youngest in the group. We' his brothers' admired him. He was a good athlete particularly in High Jump and basketball.  He was very popular in his group and in the kibbutz. 

After Six Days War, Pilots had a special status and that status gave confidence and self esteem. He was loved and admired by all.

First time his plane was hit and blew up on air on the sixth day of Six Days War in the Golan Heights. Somehow he managed to jump and escaped death. He landed right between skewers in a tomatoes field near Almagor. He next skirmish with death came when he hit am ammunition trailer in the Sinai Peninsula. The explosion was so strong that the jet landing system was damaged. He insisted that he land the plane against all advises. After he managed to bring the plane in one piece he got an Excellence Honor. 

On 21-3-1969 he was not lucky. No one knows why his plane got fire.
