Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

MM Alam either evaluated or was from the first batch that went to France for the conversion course for the mirage.

Do u know if he had a role in the induction of the f 6 as well ?
I think F-6 was a personal intervention and choice of the then ACM Nur Khan.

The first batch that landed in Saudi Arab were initially refused by the PAF as it was found that they were incorporating a less capable radar, the aircraft remained there until they were fitted with the APG-68.
The first batch had landed at Saudi with them staying a few days following a handover over to PAF pilots to ferry them to Pakistan.

APG-66 radar was used at the time, APG-68 first entered PAF service in 2010.

There was no social media back in those days, remember reading it in the Jang newspaper something to the effect that F-16s are stranded in KSA as PAF is refusing to accept them due to them having less capable radar than the standard one. Some aviation magazine also said that first transatlantic experience for a few PAF pilots as some of them flew as GIBS from Fort Worth.
