No Sir, Mushshak doesn’t have ejection seats and a serious emergency demands a forced landing into any prepared or unprepared (kutcha) field. The problem with single engine propeller aircraft is that once your only engine packs up, chances are 50/50 if one can make a successful emergency...

Shehbazi this is a very old pic of FT-7s..PAF doesn’t use brown camo on F-7 anymore (its all grey now). As far as the helmet’s colour is concerned, it really doesn’t matter as they aren’t visible from farther distance and high speeds. Please note that the pic has been taken from only10 feet and...

Sir it did snow a lot couple of weeks back. Life was virtually stood still with airports, trains, roads, schools and offices closed. It’s back to normal now. For me it didn’t make much difference even if weather was bad because the course I am undertaking is basically a classroom...

Selection of wrong switches, short circuiting in system, fuse malfunction, over stress of aircraft (may be...) or simply human error …For whatever reason, bombs do sometimes fell off the hardpoints and missiles do slip from the rails inadvertently. Happens in all airforces…Nothing new. Similar...

Its just his second day in office and perhaps we shall give him a little bit more time before making judgements about his policies…One thing is sure, he will do whatever is good for his country and that in return might piss many in other countries ….Looking at our history, perhaps our own...

Rightly said Blain.....Mixing flying with fasting is forbidden in PAF….Airforce rules clearly state that if a pilot wants to keep fasts, he/she can take the 30 days off from their annual leave and fast….But fasting while on duty is a big NO NO…..

The picture may be taken in Shiraz but I think that the Phantoms in the pic are from USAF….The tail code HR indicates that these perhaps belonged to 50th Fighter Wing , Hahn Air Base that was a frontline NATO facility in Germany for over 40 years during the Cold War. Iraninan AF Phantoms...

I think Bezerk posted the right picture of Kiran. The new IJT trainer you mentioned is perhaps this ...

Please don’t misquote me by picking a line from what I wrote and throwing your own opinion in it….:disagree: You totally missed the point here….People were not court martial because of keeping long beards, but they were court martialed for DISOBEYING A LAWFULL COMMAND BY...

Superfluous statement …:tsk: Military jets hit the earth all the time in every airforce….Today IAF had it, tomorrow it can happen in PAF too....Its a tragic crash and I don’t think it’s an occasion to score points or get even with other members…. Kiran is around 50 years old now, any news...

Before Blain’s reply, I will give a little input. If I understand correctly, you are suggesting fitting a probe in a drop tank?? Well, it’s not possible for many reasons. In any air combat situation, the drop tanks are always the first casualty. These are immediately jettisoned by pilot to...

All exams done and passed sir. I have been trying to fly here whenever get the opportunity, but the weather is behaving quite badly. Hopefully it will improve after mid February…Thanks for asking…regards

I also had a chat with him thru PMs and he was quick in responding back..Hope he should be able to reply quickly..

While considering escorts for SAAB 340, there are multiple factors to be considered before e.g. pre-hostility phase, hostility phase, tagged/ loose Escorts or simply dependence upon the CAPs…. Few basic facts first about SAAB… Normal cruise speed : 200 Kts Vs 400 Kts of any fighter...

Yes Sir he is in airforce. I had a chat with him couple of weeks back and he is in one of the A-5 squadrons at Peshawar..

Not as far as I know. :disagree: Mostly have normal disc brakes that are either hydraulically or pneumatically operated… Basal is an unprepared airfield with pot holes as big as a normal size room. Its totally unsuitable for any jet landing…I did rather eject than attept a landing at Basal...

Not creating any more mess Flint, just giving my POV..:enjoy: PAF has been through this beard fiasco and I know the emotions that run thru the men in a situation like this…I have seen it first hand....It doesn’t take long to blow this situation out of proportions or becoming even...

What a mess IAF is creating!! Come on the guy is just an Aircraftsman, he is not even a pilot. Similar situation was also created in PAF too few years back when few pilots were asked to trim their beards as per the Dress Regulation AFO (Airforce Order). The AFO clearly specified the length...

@ ANTIBODY JF-17 and FC-20 are totally different aircrafts with different price tag, role and induction plans. It’s a similar kind of an argument that why Indian AF needs LCA once they are already inducting 200 + SU-30 MKIs…. PAF is currently working with 20 fighter squadrons...

Who is Berzik ??? :undecided:.... If you mean Bezerk, well I fully supported his views... It was you who got it all wrong...Read it again very slowly and hope it will make sense for you this time...cheers
