I see its a maintenance day :) BTW ADA / QR aircraft are not sitting so open in the sun. Pakistani Govt should look into this, such "eye-openers accounts" need to be taken up with Google. We have already lost enough because of these Google Images available to anyone.

Enjoy :-) Pictures on JF-17 induction in CCS – 26-Jan-2015 By Najam Khan | January 29, 2015 | JF-17 Thunder PAF has recently inducted JF-17 in its aggressor’s unit “Combat Commanders School”. In first batch a mix of new & fairly old air frames (five initially) are transferred from No.16 &...

That was in 2008/9..may be price went up? Or could be version change / extra spares / licensed software for avionics etc.

Love this Chakka!!..there is one freshly painted outside Base Cdr Mushaf's office.; it look so well prepared. BTW dual-seat F-6 retired in April'2011 and are still stored in decent condition for flying.

I think this purchase was not required. Sindh Govt can take PAA AW139 on loan for such operations, or simply request PAA support. If the configuration of this newly purchased AW139 is for medi-evac/rescue then it may not fulfill the *joy-ride-dreams* of PPP politicians. PAA procured 5 AW-139...

JF-17 Thunder Update – 2014 By Najam Khan | December 16, 2014 | JF-17 Thunder JF-17 Thunder Update – 2014 - PAFwallpapers Blog Inducted in the PAF as a medium-tech combat aircraft in 2010, the JF-17 Thunder’s production has been gathering pace ever since the launch of the Block-2 standard...

ONLY IF we were in 1990s, when PAF was collecting Mirages from Australia/Libya etc. There are no more plans to invest in these airframes. They should be replaced with Thunders by now.

Agree. The issue with PAF is that they have military men controlling media affairs. And unfortunately they rely on vendors, which result in such poor media image. These modifications require some serious airframe changes, chin-mounted pods may not be introduced in Thunder but dual racks only on...

IDEAS 2014 report: Part-1 – Armoured and Artillery Systems By Najam Khan | December 8, 2014 | IDEAS 2014 Designation: SH1 Manufactured by: NORINCO China North Industries Corp. Country: China Type: Armoured / Artillery...

Looks like some procurement orders for next JF-17 squadrons. GSE (Ground Support Equipment), GTE (Ground Testing Equipment), GHE (May be Hydraulics Equipment ).

Routine visit, mainly focused on bilateral relations. PAF support them in pilot training, repair & maintenance of K-8/J-5 fleet (even overhaul of J-5/FT-5 (till 2011)) etc. Regarding SLAF airchief's visit to PAC, its just a normal visit to keep him busy in Pakistan. SLAF is going to be a minor...

Thats seems like a realistic timeline as compare to 2020 (which was initially estimated as FA/-18 replacement date by some authors.)

Unfortunately this project was not required in for ISB-RWP. Now since it has been running since few months now, so Lets hope it gets completed.

Where in Okara is it displayed? There is one F-6 on canal road in Okara. There is one in FT-5 in MuridK (outside base), may be this photo is wrongly tagged.

The situation with current existence of ISIS in Pak is very low (may be just a speculation). Local militants groups such as LeJ/TTP are looking at ISIS mainly because of the financial support. Killing people/ransom/kidnapping all are profitable business for these scum-bags. Now after lots of...

The plan is to upgrade them all phase wise. For e.g Most of CCS Mirages are now upgraded with refueling probes

Well one thing is sure, the drone pilots don't have much career after retirement :p

Additional Logisitcs and spares required. Additional manpower strength (pilots and crew) required...and lastly separate hangars / flightlines required (unless their is space available at any base like Minhas or Samungli) @-Topic: Speculation at this stage. May be next Air chief opens this...

This USAF tanker visited Pakistan in Oct'2009 during Saffron Bandit'09. PAF F-16s conducted air refueling practice (mainly for the upcoming Red Flag 2010).
