this pic confirms that at least 14 thunders are operational and that no 26 sqdn is at full strength = 18 a/c.

Waqas119, while your intentions may be good, the photographer may not take kindly to you removing all the artefacts and the watermarks. They may equate it to stealing and may stop posting any more pictures on their websites. We don't want that.

Sir Fatman,
what is that part that "Danger" arrow is pointing at?
That is indeed a very good question on which I have too pondered. A few explanations could be as follows for the reason that JF-17 is not going to be flying at the FIA 2010.
1. Politics.......Maybe the Western folks do not want the JF-17 to do a flying display perhaps out of fear of undercutting their own aircraft markets.
2. Money......It costs quite lot of extra to actually fly an aircraft at airshows. Perhaps the Chinese are not willing to spend that kind of money.
3. Safety Concerns.......Maybe the flight administration of the airshow has some strict rules and regulations on flying platforms. Maybe the JF-17 may not be able t qualify these 'air display' regulations.
All in all its a pity that the JF-17 would not be flying at the FIA 2010. Otherwise, it would have stolen the show with its air ballet!
It houses canopy string and in case of emergency, pulling the string up to seven feet will detach the canopy, thus the word "RESCUE"
Thanks for informing me about it but I was asking about the one that is on air-intake under the wings > shape and has two Dangers written on each prong. Looks like some sensor .. is it?

Usman Shabbir of Pakdef.info reported that the problem arose because of the arrangements for insurance to fly in the show could not be arranged in time for the show itself.Earlier PShamim had reported that there was a problem with the compatibility of the radio with the radios installed in EU.
Whatever the case, it shows a certain lack of experience on the part of PAF/CATIC. So lets see what happens.
