He was our neighbour in 1986 and he told me the story how shot down them.... He should not have gone to his last flying, he faced emergency in an F-7 dealt with it but was not able to manage it... being low at altitude ejected but could separate himself from the seat ( thats what i have heard)

He was about to shot 4 more Mig23 in few seconds but the GCI instructor told him to break right due to some clutter on the ground radar and GCI thought some place was near his f16 so unfortunately he missed the opportunity to break MM ALAM Record.

Flt Lft Saiful Azam



Flight Lieutenant Saiful Azam has the unique distinction of having kills against air forces of two different countries. As a young Flying Officer during the 65 War, Saiful Azam scored a kill against an Indian Air Force Gnat, in recognition of which he was awarded Sitara-i-Jurat. Two years later Saiful Azam became the first Pakistani pilot to score against the Israeli Air Force in the 1967 Arab-Israel war. He shot down a Vatour Bomber, a super Mystere, and a Mirage IIIC, all in only two missions thus raising his tally to four kills. To-date he remains the highest shooter of Israeli aircraft.

He has been highly decorated with gallantry awards by both Jordan and Iraq for his extraordinary display of skill and courage. He retired as a Group Captain from Bangladesh Air Force. In 2001, he was honoured by the United States Air Force (USAF) and enjoys the status of being one of the twenty two ‘Living Eagles’ of the world.
