When Heroes Fly (Hebrew: בשבילה גיבורים עפים, romanizedBishvila Giborim Afim, lit.'Heroes fly for her') is an Israeli drama television series that was first broadcast in Israel on Keshet 12 in May 2018. The series was created by Omri Givon and loosely based on the novel of the same name by Amir Gutfreund. It uses flashbacks to account for the differing time periods.

In October 2018, Netflix acquired international broadcasting rights to the series.[1] Keshet has commissioned a second season.[2] The series has also been adapted into an English version for the United States market titled Echo 3 by Apple TV+.[3]
