This is not full complete list as mentioned by sir Muradk earlier.

This is not full complete list as mentioned by sir Muradk earlier.

The breakdown only covers the period up until Feb 2009, and the pilots serving in the respective F-16 Squadrons. Obviously other pilots may have been posted to other squadrons in the PAF.

 

[Patriot]

The list is inaccurate.There are several Pakistani Pilots with 2000+ Hours on Falcon but none are listed at F-16.net (Muradk said one pilot even crossed 3k hours)

The heading is a little confusing as it says 1000 flying hours or more,
What they mean is minimum of 1000 flying hours, the guy in my Avatar is also in the list and i know for a fact that he has achieved more than 2000 hours.

 

[Creder]

there is only one guy who has clocked like 6000 hours..he should be buried in an F-16 instead of a coffin lol

 

[Paksindhi]

Great job Eagle's , keep it up

 

[Patriot]

^Falcons not Eagles--Eagles are F-15 Pilots :p

 

[Kompromat]

Haseeb has over 4000 hours on F-16's , windi you can check with him if i am wrong or right.

AC (R) Kaiser Tufail must have been one of these though he served on Mirages big time as a base commander of PAF base masroor.

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

LOL Wind man....
i thought they didnt go near india coz they were afraid to see a mig 21 crash and witness the death of some indian pilot.
Thts heart breaking to see flying coffins.ROFL

 

[Windjammer]

Indian History's Pakistan Version or what ..???

What are you trying to say. ???

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Indian History's Pakistan Version or what ..???

Frustrated?
Happens to most indians when they see the reality........lol the gnat sits as a war trophy in Karachi.
According to IAF beliefs they shot 100 PAF jets in 65.......LOL PAF crapped on there history by flying there jets in a march after victoy on the other side......hope u know IAF dead bogies?
Or should we remind u?

 

[Windjammer]

Great Job Falcons ..!!! But during this 2000Hrs of flying never seen you guys near Indian borders ....Afraid Of MIG-21 Or HAL AJEET...???


If they are with such dedication then why is as below ..

17 Jul 2009 [w/o] 92729 92-0405 F-16A Block 15AQ OCU

I am sure you can count that PAF lost 9 F-16s in 28 years of operations, during which they were engaged for at least five years with Afghan/Soviet aircrafts, during which they shot down at least 14 intruders. From the above you can also see that between 1994 and 2009 there is a gap of 15 years involving an F-16 crash, during this period, PAF F-16s completed 100,000 accident free flight hours.
In almost same period, the IAF has lost nearly 40 Jaguars and over half of the Harriers without once going to war. Not to mention the MIGs and other types.
