West Germany’s new hero, 19-year-old Mathias Rust, may soon visit Israel, but not necessarily in the tiny Cessna plane he landed in Red Square last month.

According to Rust’s mother, her son has been “dreaming” of going to Israel. “He will certainly visit Jerusalem as soon as he can afford it financially.” she told reporters.
