Dedicated crew chiefs are assigned to a single aircraft & are singularly responsible not only for ensuring the successful completion of its maintenance, but for improving it as well.
Never underestimate the soothing effect of a calm and confident crew chief on a pilot that is going to roll down on a highway to the danger zone.

From the moment we strap into the jet, the mantra we use is 'Aviate, Navigate & Communicate' & all decisions are prioritized in that order, precisely because this is the order that things will kill you the most quickly ...

7th September the martyrdom anniversary of Sqn Ldr Shabbir Alam & Sqn Ldr Aslam Qureshi.
Squadron Leader M. Shabbir Alam Siddiqui was born on 15 July, 1934 at Lucknow, India. He got commissioned in Pakistan Air Force in April, 1954. During 1965 war, Squadron Leader Shabbir Alam Siddiqi was deployed at No 8 Sqn equipped with B-57 aircraft at PAF Base, Mauripur. On 06 September, 1965, he undertook three consecutive bombing missions against the IAF Base at Jamnagar. He took off for the first sortie at 1700 hrs and after a successful mission returned to base.
On the same night he again got airborne for the second mission at 2300 hrs and again bombed IAF Jamnagar accurately and effectively. His enthusiasm was so unbounded that he volunteered to fly the third mission. He took off for the third time at 0330 hrs with his navigator Sqn Ldr Aslam Qureshi and proceeded to bomb IAF Jamnagar. The aircraft never returned back from this mission and he was declared missing in action. It was later revealed that the aircraft reached its target over Jamnagar Airfield shortly before dawn. After dropping two bombs it was in circuit to drop the remaining load when aircraft was hit by anti-aircraft fire and brought down. Both officers succumbed to the fatal injuries.
Despite the display of an extraordinary valor and courage no gallantry award could be conferred to the officers in all likelihood of the vagueness surrounding the fate of their mission during war. The process later perhaps got eclipsed by the events of 1971 War. The officers thus remained undecorated and received no medals in recognition for their selfless devotion and ultimate sacrifice for the motherland.
