because he must have trained/qualified on F16 when he became a fighter pilot. JF-17 are a recent induction as compared to F16

That's great... I want to see them flying JF17 and put this A/C in lead everywhere... It is our bird

He and Gen.Sharif really ingrained the philosophy of leading from the front. Nowadays even the officers can be seen down in the trenches!

Questionable tactic in offensive war, but great for counter insurgency or defensive ops.

Started off in F-6s for a bit and then F-16s mostly ever since. First PAF air chief who did a checkout on the Block 52+.

well we see them always flying f-16 and recent years F-16-D block-52

They are not flying the F-16 here....they're in the jet for a ride.
