Wiki: "In the 19th century and up to World War I, the Ottoman Empire cleared the land of Israel of its natural reserves of pine and oak trees, in order to build railways across the empire. Since it was founded the JNF (Jewish National Fund) has planted in Israel more than 185 million trees creating 280 forests, and still operates today."

I gave one of those to my flight instructor when I got my private license.
It blew him away.He is an airline pilot now, I haven't seen him in years. I wonder if he carries it as a backup.
