Could be the Training Evaluation Center who probably conduct/control the ACMI range and give Pk ratings. My speculation

For most part those valleys he was supposedly taking advantage of are in IIOK so no opportunity to put sensors there. With radars, ground clutter for any look down mode is a real issue. You tend to have algorithmic filters to exclude spurious false echoes but their efficacy is dependent on many...

“Firebird” 5”x7” Ink on paper, quick rough sketch

Departure in the sense of nomenclature scheme. In the standard scheme the letter preceding the main mission designation, denotes modified mission such as UH-1 Huey where U stands for utility and H for Helicopter. I know the background why it’s named JF-17. I was just pointing out that from...

Pakistan has mostly followed the USAF which follows the 1962 US Tri service designation system where F denotes Fighter. So could be F-10 instead of J-10. J denotes Jian which in Chinese designation stands for Fighter. JF-17 has been a departure. Q-5 were translated under the same scheme to A-5...

From what I understand, these CFTs are bolted on to the fuselage. You need multiple attachment points both at/near the front and rear of the CFT and possibly middle to ensure the strongest of attachment that can withstand high-g maneuvering. These access panels allow the necessary room to insert...

This appears to be from 1983-1988 Afghan war period when PAF kept F-16s at minimum reaction time by placing them on ORP with all pre-flight checks done and even the Remove Before Flight protective covers removed. This was a new SOP drafted for those days.

The honor code drilled into every cadet is, “I will not lie, cheat or steal and will not permit anyone among us who does so “. In a way he has not shown integrity and honor by allowing himself to be part of the lie. Honorable conduct in an ideal world would have had him resign rather than be a...

The picture is taken above the wing which indicates it is a mid-wing aircraft hence KC-135. C-17 is a high wing aircraft with no windows above the wing. The two aircraft have different power plants and the easy way to tell the difference externally is that C-17 engine nacelle (cowling/cover)...
