Explained by PAC engineer in the video posted above. Green areas are fuel storage.

They always say that. What about green under the cockpit?

They always say that. What about green under the cockpit?

3P03 so third production aircraft

 

[Iron Shrappenel]

Parts mentioned are a) sheet metal and b) structural part only ?

Sir, if you were referring to me please explain the start/end side of the craft in the picture above your comment... I couldn't make much of it... I wanted to know if the green part was just start of fuel compartment or a special material to increase structural integrity ( some kind of composite )...
Thanks in advance...

3P03 so third production aircraft

Or aircraft " 0 " in whole numbers....

It was on purpose, questionnaire are vetted and edited version is shown to concerned authorities before being on air.

The PAF engineer has clearly said that twin seaters are all 2B. Block three has only A version.

There was an article by Alan Warnes, in which he mentioned Block 3 twin seaters.

That's a LOT of a BLK3s

ok, this is even more interesting because i recall them stating the line would be reduced to 12 aircraft a year and then the rest of the capacity would be left for export.

i wonder if we have now also increased our orders???

nvm i read the rest, my day is ruined and my disappointment is immeasurable. the children are crying JamD, this is on you

There was an article by Alan Warnes, in which he mentioned Block 3 twin seaters.

i haven't watched the video, however, remember, block 2bs will/are being upgraded so you might be seeing that.
