Ofira and Dana chose to transfer the helmet to detention on Squadron 119 at Base Ramon, where Squadron 140 was housed, and from there Major-General Daniel Gorey and his late Lieutenant Ilan Rosenthal left for their last flight.

Recall, the helmet was found a few days ago by two hikers in the Paran River area, but they did not realize its importance, took photos with her and left her in the area. Following the release of the helmet image, an IAF detention team was established that included the ETHN (missing persons), accident investigators from the MCAA (Safety and Quality Control Director), a 669th fighter team and a helicopter crew from 123 Squadron, which located the helmet.

Major Daniel Gaury enlisted in the IDF in 1969 for service in the Air Force. After successfully completing a flying course, completing regular service and continuing into regular service, he took part in the Yom Kippur War as a Phantom pilot. Over the years, he rose to the rank of major and graduated from the permanent service for study at Hadassah College. In 1980, he married Oprah, and in early 1982 returned to the Phantom Squadron's permanent service and then moved to command the operational training course for the fighter pilots.

The day he found his death during a training flight was also the fourth anniversary of his marriage. In a plane in which Major Guri (32) flew and the apprentice accompanying him was found to be malfunctioning and the two failed to recover from it until it crashed.
