Chief of Air Staff of Bangladesh Air Force (BAF) Marshal Shaikh Abdul Hannan, along with his spouse and three entourages left Dhaka for Canada on Sunday for an official visit.

During the visit, he will call on President and CEO of Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC) Bobby Kwon and Assistant Deputy Minister of Global Affairs of Canada Paul Thoppil.

In the meetings, they will exchange views on bilateral issues of mutual interest, said an ISPR press release.

The Air Force Chief will also visit the aerospace engineering and maintenance institute "CASCADE Aerospace", "MAXCRAFT Avionics Facilities" and "HELIWELDERS Canada Facility".

During this visit, he will see the progress of the BAF C-130B aircraft which is now under overhauling process at "CASCADE Aerospace".

Besides, he will also visit "Bell Helicopter Facility" and "Advantech Wireless Technology Ltd Facility" in Ottawa.

The visit of the BAF chief will hopefully play a vital role in the maintenance of BAF aircraft and helicopters as well as expand the scope of cooperation in professional sectors between the two countries.

He is scheduled to return home on 23 June.

 
Eh.

They've had F-18s for many years and will get the F-35.


88 F-35s.

BAF is in a class of their own.
Considering that they are a wealthy nation, have an advanced Aeronautical Industry and are a NATO member, their fleet is relatively quite pathetic. All their F-18s are old A/B variants.

Granted this will change drastically once the F-35s enter service.

BAF has the excuse of belonging to a third world hellhole which is non-aligned.
