Hi,

Did you guys notice the security when the president was being introduced to the parachute jumpers---totally different when he took the guard of honour---wow---surprise surprise.

 

[EagleEyes]

Yes, it was a little bit surprising. I think the official dont want to take any chances. After all it is the President. I have recorded some of it. Will post here shortly. (NO PAF PART)

Hi,

Is it me or did you guys notice it too---the camera operator had a very poor technique of following lead to the aircraft or ground equipment.

Second thing of great concern---I always see the PARADE COMMANDERS standing in a jeep without any hand support to keep steady---a moving vehicle---any untoward movement---any accident and all three---the pride of pakistani millitary would be spilt on the tarmac---it would on the world tv in an instance and a but-t of all jokes worlwide within minutes---. Could somebody tell me what these guys are thinking---!!!

PTV camera coverage has always sucked. This time it looked like they had put a "charsi" on the Camera to track the detachments and columns.

Usually the Parade Commander's Jeep has a stand in the rear on to which the Parade Commanders holds on. The balancing act is kept in mind thus the slow speed of the jeep.
