That is one damn gorgeous picture!
One of the craziest Viper demo by any PAF pilot
sounds like a plan!no man hopefully next year
That's usually what ACM's plane does, right? So I think this is confirmation that the ACM will not fly in the JF-17B.
I hope they can at least stop using the MLUs and C/Ds for this stuff. Why not use the ADFs at least (and that way we don't put the high-cost radars, TDLs, ECM, JHMCS, etc at risk?)A definite display of courage and skills.
But
These maneuvers are very risky especially at such low altitude and highly buildup areas. We Know very well what can go wrong. A simple flypast will do as far as the 23rd March parade is concerned.
If PAF really wants to create some excitement/buzz they should conduct such maneuvers in a safer envirnoment at a higer altitude, make some High-quality videos, and release them via social media.
If they want to increase people's engagement for the sake of PR & Recruitment then they should consider steps like increasing School/College trips to PAF bases or open Days at PAF bases for common folks.
Let's first see who the new ACM is... unlike in the past, Block-52s have also been practicing formation flying as well.That's usually what ACM's plane does, right? So I think this is confirmation that the ACM will not fly in the JF-17B.

I see a spectrum. Next to actual operational use, training is the most important. So, in terms of training, drills, exercises, and even accumulating flight hours, I'm fine with heavy usage.The moment we start thinking like that is the moment we stop becoming the PAF. Yes, the pilots and equipment is at risk as we continually push them to their very limits. Train hard, fight easy. It has obviously been an ethos that has paid off. I appreciate what you mean about the consdierations around a public parade/
That looks like that he screwed up a bit. Either way they are no longer having OCs to fly the demos anymore. Not after last year's incident.One of the craziest Viper demo by any PAF pilot
