After the aircraft industry and the Pakistan Air Force coordination, this jointly sent three "Fierce Dragon" exhibition, in which a flight performance, a static display and weapons for ground display. The appearance, but also the "Fierce Dragon" fighter following the 2009 and 2010 Farnborough Airshow , the third time in large-scale comprehensive international air show.
　　During the air show, "Fierce Dragon" aircraft through the air show, static display, the model shows, press conferences and a series of events, become a major highlight of this air show and focus.

　　"Fierce Dragon" aircraft, is the China Aviation Industry Corporation and Pakistan Air Force, the spirit of "co-investment, risks and shared interests" principle, cooperation in the development, co-production of a type of advanced multi-purpose light fighter. China Code FC-1 / "Fierce Dragon", the Pakistani side code JF-17/Thunder.
　　Operational environment for the 21st century, developed the "Fierce Dragon" is a highlight of the aircraft in the air to intercept long-range, close combat and all-weather precision strike capability across, single, single-seat light utility aircraft. Good mobile combat capability, greater range, empty time and combat radius, excellent STOL characteristics and a strong weapon load capacity. The machine uses an advanced aerodynamic shape, a large thrust and low fuel consumption of the turbofan engine, advanced digital flight control systems and telex highly integrated avionics and weapons systems, with a variety of advanced precision navigation, battlefield situational awareness, target detection and recognition, attack and electronic warfare operations and other functions. The whole machine a total of seven plug-in points, with a total capacity of more than plug-4000kg, can hang multiple empty, air-surface weapons, including two goals with a variety of advanced ultra-horizon attack capability.
　　The project began in 1998 China and Pakistan signed a joint development agreement in principle. August 25, 2003 Xiaolong 01 prototype flew successfully. In March 2007, the first aircraft delivered Xiaolong Pakistan Air Force. At present, Pakistan has equipped aircraft assembly, flight test and component production capacity.
　　Xiaolong aircraft of Pakistan Air Force has fielded and combat effectiveness. Pakistan Air Force after high-intensity training and validation of flight, aircraft performance, operational capabilities and integrated logistics support capability has been further enhanced and high praise. Xiaolong fighters participated in many international exhibitions and exercise, demonstrating good performance Xiaolong fighters and arms trade in the international aviation market.

Dubai Airshow 2011: Modified C-130s and Google Earth assist Pakistan Air Force in border region operations
13 November 2011
The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) was forced to use Google Earth to plan its early missions against militants fighting in the border regions with Afghanistan.
Speaking on the eve of the Dubai Airshow at the Dubai International Air Chiefs Conference (DIAC), Air Chief Marshal Rao Qamar Suleiman, Chief of the Pakistan Air Force told delegates that at the beginning of its counter insurgency operations in the Bajaur Agency region back in August 2008 the air force did not have the intelligence gathering capabilities it needed for detailed mission planning.
As a result, it was forced to resort to use Google Earth software to plan the missions.
'It was not very useful, but it did give us an aerial view of the villages so we could see their layout,' Suleiman told Shephard.
'We were able to use the 3D terrain view to allow our pilots to see their entry and escape routes from the target.'
Since then, the PAF has taken delivery of Goodrich DB-110 reconnaissance pods fitted to its fleet of F-16s and a handful of Star Safire III EO/IR turrets which have been fitted to the noses of C-130 transport aircraft allowing them to be used as a long-endurance ISR platform flown by PAF crews but with the sensor operated by Pakistan Army personnel using a mission system fitted in the cargo hold, rather like that used on the US Marine Corps Harvest Hawk KC-130J.
Suleiman said that that PAF has flown around 650 missions using the Star Safire system on the C-130 adding that the system has been hugely appreciated by ground commanders. There had also been some 500 sorties using the DB-110.
Since the beginning of PAF operations against the militants in the region, the air arm has dropped some 10,600 weapons against 4,600 targets.
During operations in the Swat Valley which began in May 2009, the PAF dropped 1,700 laser-guided bombs as they attacked militant positions in preparation for the movement of ground forces.

The Shiekhas must be happy with the hardware their money has bought them, considering even the ground controllers are American..
Who was the disinterested shiekh yawning away??
Wonder what he was thinking?.. bah.. aircraft.. I like American ones, they have big lounges and a place to put my harem.
