Remember going gaga over Tom Cruise in Top Gun? Perfectly coiffed and impeccably uniformed Lt Pete Mitchell aka Maverick. Didn’t he take our breaths away?

Now imagine getting to see the fictional lieutenant come to life, in flesh and blood, that too in Pakistan!

A tweet recently went viral with a picture of Tom Cruise’s lookalike in Pakistan Air Force. Is he the real double or a doppelganger?

The lookalike was identified as Squadron Leader Yasir, a JH-17 pilot of Pakistan Air Force.



Squadron Leader Yasir was photographed while briefing Pakistani Ambassador to Italy Tehmina Janjua about the aircraft during the Paris Air Show. Sporting his black wrap-arounds and a candidly casual and carefree poise Sq Leader looked like Tom Cruise straight out of Top Gun.

Many people thought that the picture was a still from the movie until it was inspected closely and many others even mistook the pilot for the Hollywood heartthrob.

The uncanny resemblance of the two drew surprised reactions from users on Twitter and Facebook as well.



‘Stir’ is an under-statement.



We don’t blame you.



Yes. Masha’Allah.



Lady killing? Not a Mission Impossible for him. I wonder how many ladies have already started calling dibs on him.



Yes. Yes. Yes.

Air Vice Marshal Arshad Malik had observed the aerobatics performance of the aircraft at Paris on Saturday.

technically he can, depends on what fighter you are talking about, he owned a P-51 fighter from WW2...and I think he can fly a jet now so older fighter like A-4 or Hawk would be a no problem for him.

But if you are talking about modern fighter like Su-27 or so on, then, no, he can't

our pilots are natural born actors- with great looks comes great acting skills- -
