the first female pilot to have died on a mission when a PAF trainer jet crashed near Kundian, Mianwali, Tuesday afternoon.

A PAF FT-7PG flown by Squadron Leader Saqib Abbasi and co-pilot Flying Officer Marium Mukhtar was on a routine operational training mission when it encountered an in-flight emergency during the final stages of the mission, said a PAF statement.

"Both pilots handled the emergency with professionalism and courage and tried to save the aircraft till the last minute, ensuring safety of property and the civilian population on the ground," read the statement.

They ejected from the aircraft and sustained injuries. They were being treated at a nearby military hospital, where Flying Officer Mariam Mukhtar succumbed to her injuries.

In my opinion PAF should triple the rate of JF-17 production, and phase out all these yesteryear aircrafts ASAP.

I used to think @MastanKhan Sahab is sometimes to harsh on PAF, now he makes perfect sense. I think it was he who said "forget exports, we need to focus on replacing our old fleet".
