Blast From Past, Eagles & Phantoms at PAF Base Masroor

[Windjammer]

USAF frontline fighters (then) at Masroor Airbase during a CENTO exercise. First is a photo of the F-4E Phantom that was retired after serving in Germany in the late 80s. Second is the F-15C that was also based in Germany but was lost in an accident in 1984. These images are from 1980 and the gentlemen posing in front of the aircraft are cadets from G13 (67 GD(P) parallel) course at CAE, Korangi Creek. All of them have retired now.

I was there but not in the picture and I was much younger. F111 were also there as well as RAF V bombers.

This was part of the Inspired Alert exercises. These legacy Hornets were brand-new and most were rookies who had come to Masroor for an exercise.
