Kickback allegations ruined this deal. 40 X 60m per copy was a expensive deal.

Air Marshal Nur Khan commanding #PIA's first Boeing 707. From a fledgling airline he transformed it into the envy of the world. Even took a bullet to take down a hijacker. The airline he loved destroyed by the greed of the Bhuttos & Sharifs.

Pakistani pilot's union runs like a mafia I hear. These people won't shy away from organizing deliberate crashes if it means getting their way.

Much like the Teamsters Union under J. Hoffa. He used to work very closely with the various mafias. Sicilian mafia in particular.

People seldom pause to think how difficult it is to face certain death. They seldom can imagine the courage, dedication and sense of duty that one has to have to stare death in its face!! One can not fathom what selflessness and the kind of sense of honor would have prodded him to forget about his family, his life, his existence and all that a person holds dear and go embrace certain death.

Words are not enough to appreciate, and acknowledge his sacrifice. Alone, in the harsh mountains, with one thought in his mind, surely better men would have turned back. He alone stood fast and made this nation eternally grateful to him!!!

My salute to him, and to his parents... those who inculcated this sense of love for his country and the spirit of sacrifice.

He gave his today so we all can have a tomorrow. Farewell, Captain......
