Military Equipment Transfers From All Countries to Pakistan 1950-2010

Sir,from these details it seems that PAF has inducted 23 C-130s since 1962.

Zia's C-130 crashed on Aug 17, 1988. Two C-130Bs serial no. 23491 & 24143 collided at Chaklala base tarmac on Sep 10, 1998.
There is one burnt C-130 in Chaklala, if its not one of these two C-130s then total count becomes 23-4=19.

Currently PAF has 16 C-130s. If all above figures are correct, then from this hypothesis one can conclude that atleast three of C-130s have been returned to Iran...is their any details of such re-transfer of equipment?

i also believe there have been some attrition losses-remember during the embargo, to keep the fleet operating atleast 1 or 2 a/c were stripped for spares.
 
^i also have attrition losses dates i can share
 
Iran...........3........C-130B Hercules.....Transport aircraft.1966...1967

i believe these were a loan

All on board were killed, including the US ambassador to Pakistan, a US general and 17 top ranking Pakistan Army personnel. Two of the scheduled passengers who did not board the aircraft later reached the highest rank in Pakistan Army, chiefly because most of their seniors died in this incident. One of them was General Pervez Musharraf, president of Pakistan from 2001 to 2008. Although many people do not consider this an accident, neither Pakistan nor the US government properly investigated the incident and made the findings public.

didn't we loss 2 Lt generals / major generals in a C-130 crash after which it was prohibited that 2 or more senior rank officers of general rank won't fly together and Gen Zia disregarded that and flew with many generals.

Thanks Sir, that I am aware of, but before this incident another had happened in which 2 general rank officers were killed, i believe it was the 15th July 1966 incident, and after this incident it was banned that no 2 generals would fly in one aircraft for security reasons. I remember it to be a C-130 crash.
