Certainly a significant achievement, but they all need to work out a lot, or change their diet.

He will graduate as an officer from USAFA. But he can't go for UPT?

Sir UAE Mirage 2000s will be swapped back with France in case they want to go ahead with the Rafale deal. Plus UAE never really helps Pakistan like that, I know the UAEAF pretty well enough, they're MOSTLY(not all) airheads and they're very relaxed when it comes to their Air Force. They buy...

No.9 MRS F-16A. Nice to see they will fly with Jarheads.

They have a very large air force. Their main problem is the no. of aircraft types(spare parts problem) and 2nd of all if India had guts they wouldve finished Pakistan a long time back. No doubt Su-30MKI is one of the best fighters in the world(I'm more worried of their Mirages). Pakistan...

One of the "camels" was my instructor(and he was my dad's student).

This is my 2nd Farnborough air show(last in 2004). I hope the JF-17 also heads for RIAT(3rd time for me). And I hope its not just loops and turns.

One of the Turkish Vipers aviators, Brig. Sardar(3,000 hours) on F-16.net, flew F-16s in Pakistan for 3 years(although he wasnt the only one, there was another guy as well : Capt. Necati Dulgar)

Only one PAF pilot has flown the Su-27(he's retired and flew F-16s), that was during the evaluation of jets when the US had blocked the F-16s that were paid for. And that is not Wg Cdr Aamir Masood(he got stuck in the F-16 btw, the canopy wouldnt open:lol: )

Block 15, or Block 15MLU will be flown to US if PAF gets the green light for Red Flag this year, no block 40s at all of course as PAF doesnt operate them. Don't know about the Block 52s though.

Talked to a PAF pilot recently, yes there is a hint that No.9 Sqn will head for Red Flag.

http://www.pakdef.info/pakmilitary/airforce/gallery/images/img016.jpg From the leader : 2nd last guy on the right and 2nd guy on the left of the leader are the guys who first passed 1,000 hours and still actively flying. Note : left and right in terms of how you see it not left and right of...

F-15s will be good to fly against, Tornado is nothing(know a lot of RAF guys who hate it). The Japenese F-2 would be a nice one to fly against, as if considered its even more advanced than F-16s in service with the UAE.

On 29th April 1987, Wg Cdr Amjad Javed and Flight Lieutenant Shahid Sikandar, both from No.14 Squadron flying F-16As, were scheduled to fly an escort mission to the north, and on the same day they both escorted a PAF C-130 and a PIA Fokker to Chitral. On the way back the pair were vectored to...

This is the possible way of entering USAFA(getting a nomination from your home government), however do cadets upon graduation have the chance of attending UPT or ENJJPT? And also can they track select? Just need a little info on it. Regards

Yes sir I agree that it is an international profile, I'm giving my point of view that is strongly influenced by fighter pilots that have told me their experiences at Red Flag, and they said it wasn't good at all. Maybe this time there is a different output to it.

Sherdils aerobatics is good, but it can be even better with a 30 minute show routine. I am not an expert at this, but since my dad used to be on the Sherdils team in 89, I have a little knowledge of how PAF can improve its aerobatic team. Now that K-8s are in the team, its a fantastic aircraft...

Nice to hear Sherdils are heading displaying again out of Pakistan. I'm trying to post a video up of the Sherdils team back in 1989 during the graduation at PAF Academy, but for some reason it is not showing up.

The squadron at Luke AFB teaches pilots of USAF, and exchange air forces pilots and sometimes naval aviators. Since PAF doesnt have exchange posts, the only way they got trained its cos of the aquisition of an aircraft(F-16) by a foreign nation, in that case the 162nd ANG, 195th FS, they teach...

Sir, Ashfaque Arain and Haseeb Paracha didnt hit the 3K mark yet, they also stopped flying regularly. Plus on F-16.net there are many other PAF pilots(active and retired) that have passed 1,000 hours without being posted on the website. I can name them, but list is too long. Hope this helps.
