What nonsense, acquaintance may help you join the Indian air force but PAF is reported to set higher requirement standards than most Western forces.
dude , its military not some boys club. You need to first get into air force and higher officers will decide who is good for what based on their skill & ability. Not every one who joins air force gets to become a pilot.
Bhaijan, PAF is not McDonald's and doesnt your individual needs and desires, first prove your self worthy of being even considered to fly with PAF colours.
my sincere advice to you drop the idea of PAFand try your luck in the army or even USAF it is very very difficult to get selected in PAF as GDP in last course my friend applied in PAF he and 71 other candidates in his batch were all rejected without any reason only those with exceptional skills in every field can dream of joining PAF
Build application packages for both. Flying fighters with USAF has multiple routes but you need to be extremely competitive to get in. There is the US Air Force Academy, ROTC, Air Force Reserve and the Air National Guard. For PAF, your best bet would be to get in touch with the current air attache at Washington DC, as requirements vary from year to year. Career progression in the US is very different from PAF. If you get into PAF and graduate as a pilot, chances are if you stay long enough you will become a flight commander and a squadron commander, and will naturally progress in rank. In the USAF, it isn't like that....you can only progress based on your leadership skills, exams and based on your deployments. There are plus and minus points to both services, and you're in a lucky position to be eligible for both. Overall fitness will play a better role for you in USAF than in PAF, as most (not all) pilots start their transition to belly fighters, but that is primarily due to the lifestyle of an officer over there.
It is all done on merit, only exceptional people attain such a prestigious honour!
this is PAF not indian fly a dead coffin. read what happened to PAF chiefs son. brain before mouth you untouchable
to be honest chances are very low. PAF has the highest rejection rate in the world. we have a very high pilot to plane ratio and only the best of the best become pilots and then to fly the f16 you have to be the daddy.
I was listening to the interview of a Pakistani C 130 pilot on BBC tv, he stated that in 2015 their were over a 100 thousand applications to join PAF , about a 100 applications were accepted, I suspect fighter pilot application was undoubtedly the toughest and most competitive of all.Kudos
It is possible. They're not extraordinary people...they're lucky in the sense that hard work and opportunity often intersect to get that luck. I know a bunch of who didn't who are excellent pilots and never made it to F-16s and then there are average joes or lottas flying Vipers. All about timing, apply for it and give it your best shot. You have nothing to lose.......
