The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) sent two of its indigenously-built JF-17 Thunder fighters, along with a pair of MFI-17 Super Mushshak military training aircraft on a promotional visit to Doha, Qatar, on 7 February.

Its arrival coincided with a two-day visit to the Emirate state by Pakistan's prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, and a high-powered delegation.

The PAF's week-long stay at Doha international airport culminated in a flying display of both types on 11 February in front of VIPs, which included Nawaz Sharif; Qatar prime minister Abdullah bin Nasser bin Khalifa Al Thani; Qatar Armed Forces Chief of General Staff, Major General (pilot) Ghanem bin Shaheen Al Ghanem; and the PAF Chief of the Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman.
