It floats?!? Or shallow lake?

This MiG was shot down by and Israeli Mystere during op Kadesh, the Sinai
campaign to break the blockade of Eilat.
The pilot managed to ditch in a shallow area of lake Sabkhet al-Bardawil.

...and since it was the then-newest and mostest fighter, the Israeli forces
recovered it after the conquest of El Arish and Sinai.
