Greetings and salut !!

There is a very big pilot shortage. Almost to the point that now aviation cadets are being forcefully sent to fly fast jets whereas a number want to do transports.....

There was a period when the F-16 was grounded for over 10 months following back to back crashes in 1991 with No. 14 Squadron. But it was not related to ejection seats, those were engine problems.

The F-16 in PAF service has always had ACES II ejection seats. Never got swapped with MB seats. All ejections with the ACES II seats were safe, most of the ejections happened after sanctions were placed.

The F-16 cannot stay airborne for that long without air to air refueling

What a picture

Stupidity should have a limit

The bottom list I think needs to be updated. The second last entry from the bottom, I had asked about it a few days ago from a former PAF veteran, turns out to be not true regarding the supposed shooting down of a Phantom by then Flt Lt Hatif. The rest has been vetted.

Post a source of information or link next time. Loud blasts happen all the time.

On the contrary, I thought it was the same one. My apologies if it upset you.

Probably brought over from the Twitter link posted by @FOOLS_NIGHTMARE some time ago

Yes Checked with a former PAF pilot who is also a historian these days. No F-4 was downed by M. Hatif.

Brilliant performance by all of them

This is with any major aircraft OEM. The Europeans are doing the same, lately Koreans and Chinese have also been doing it.

The pilots who flew on the mission that day would have preferred Majeed's delusions than the realities of what they saw. A screenshot of his comments were shared, almost all found it sadly hilarious

Not quite, militarily the two air forces of Egypt and India have much closer relations than the Egyptian AF does compared to PAF
