Nice to see young Haseeb Paracha when he was a poster boy and a certain officer Jamshed who appeared in the drama Shehpar and of course the late Sir Mushaff.

Ahh yes. Back when he was getting ironed out (at a very junior posting). He's lucky the IPs saw potential, most guys get themselves handed out.

Half these pilots were integrated in from No.14 squadron. To the right of Haseeb is the now AVM who flew in the rear-seat of the Viper B-model on Feb 27th, 2019.

This poster of Haseeb is from the same period.

Another thing one seldom sees famous SNEB Rocket pods on Mirages these days.

Yes there are many familiar faces there from Minhas....and of course the AVM was the mission commander i believe.

Later in the video there are 2 Vipers that takeoff. One of them is Asim Zaheer and the other one is Haseeb Paracha. The briefings were done by Jamshed Khan and Shahid Sikandar (who were both originally scheduled to fly).

Yes. Actually found out. Jamshed Khan was OC No. 9 and flight Commander was Shahid Sikandar. Both can be seen in the video from 17:58 and onwards. OC was with the President and Flight Commander is at the right most amongst the pilots.
