The best of PAF aircrew undergo rigourous training at Flight Instructor School in Risalpur before they are handed over the prestigious instructorship. These men then train one of the most refined & resolute fighter pilots in the world.

Unfortunately the outcome would have been no different than what happened with the F-16 and soybean saga. Instead of the F-16s, it would have been the F-20s and soybean.

JF-17 program remains the most prudent thing to have happened for Pakistan Air Force. Hopefully the same focus and single-minded effort is being applied to what is to come next.
