Gal-Or is the eldest son, and he has a younger brother named Gillad. Gal-Or was born in Haifa, Israel on September 5, 1962 on/kloc-0. His father Leah and his mother Benjamin are both professors at Israel Institute of Technology and Engineering. Gal-Or's mother specializes in chemistry and raw material science, while his father is an aviation and mechanical expert. Gal-Or said, "I almost grew up in Israel Institute of Technology. Gal-Or began to make his own model plane when he was four years old. As a teenager, he joined the Gadna Avir (Israel Youth Defence Force) organized by the Israeli Air Force. As part of this project, Gal-Or, as a member of the delegation, went to Norway for an air show in 1979. He studied at the Hebrew Riley School in Haifa, the oldest and most advanced middle school in Israel, and graduated from the Academy of Physical Sciences. At school, he also became a member of the youth movement of "applying what he has learned".
Military life
Gal-Or began to serve the Israeli army when he was in flight school. After graduation, he became a fighter pilot and began his 24-year career as a fighter pilot. He has flown Phantom Jet, F- 16 and A-4. At the same time, he also joined the aerobatic team. Gal-Or said, "I will never forget the day when198610 16: Ron Arad of Israeli MIA took off on an F-4 phantom jet at the same time, but we lost him forever."
Now, Amir Gal-Orr has resigned as the head of the activity preparation and served as the instructor of the military flight school. He still remembers his graduation ceremony-mainly because he flew with a broken arm. "When Premier Chamil shook hands with me, the pain was unbearable. Later, after the famous pilot-Chuck Yago broke his arm and broke the flight record, I got a nickname-Chuck Yago. " Because he is irreplaceable and doesn't want to upset the whole flight plan, he will fly anyway. He said: "The graduation ceremony is a crucial event.
Experience in serving in the air force. He said, "I believe that a person's first job will have an impact on his life's behavior. Accounting will be the shadow of accounting for a lifetime, and pilots will have the shadow of pilots all their lives. " At the gate of Gal-Or's squadron, there is a motto: "if the difficult task can be solved immediately, then the impossible task just needs more time." Gal-Or told reporters that he never forgot this proverb.
Gal-Or said: "Flying has given me a lot of abilities, which allows me to look at things from different angles and with different principles. I usually judge by intuition. Flying taught me how to control risks in a chaotic state and how to achieve results without any information. You don't have any vision in the cab at all, you can only get a few words from the radar information, and you must judge whether it is up or down from these fragmentary information. This is the essence of fighter flight. From here, I understand that nothing is impossible in the world. Moreover, I found that my flying career has many similarities with my current venture capital work, especially how to control risks in a changing environment. "

Now, there are no Gaffa oranges, because we have lost our advantage in citrus. So we went out and started a new company. I have been in the air force for half my life, and now I want to export oranges. This is a business, a challenge and a contribution to my country. This is the driving force of my career. "
