SKYLORD!

First C-17 squadron being named as SKYLORD.
The motto of it would be -- Saksham, Balam, Sarvatram. It means: Capable, Powerful, Omnipresent.

Cool but the name and motto is much more fitting a fighter SQD (MKIs or FGFA to be specific) or an AWACS SQD instead of a Transport SQD.

Well, I did mean what I wrote due to their stealth features but INVINCIBLE suits better.

Lol, abhi abhi peda hua pehla hi 'lord' ban gaya.

Does the caste system apply to IAF squadrons as well?

What do you mean abhi abhi peda hua? C-17 has seen decades of service all across the globe.

Sir no trolling intended but even if funds wern't an issue the real question is does the PAF need such assets? I don't think so. Pakistan is a relatively small nation with no real power projection aspirations as such such an airlifter doesn't quite fit with the Needs of Pakistan. It's similar to the thread/request/aspiration expressed by certain Pakistani members here on PDF for the PN to get a SSBN or Air Craft carrier. For a nation like Paksitan there are more cost-effective and practical solutions.

Honestly a lame name.

Couldnt they find one name in sanskrit or any indian language instead of this "skylord" ? And even then calling a transporter SKYLORD ?
