PAF JF-17 Thunder along F-16 to participate in Izmir Air Show in Turkey

[Safriz]

taimi was saying 2 weeks back that he could see the same jft team of zuhai training for the airshow from his office--- so i guess i had high hopes

this is only the second appearance of PAF in an internatikn airshow.unlike other aircorces whl regulay 'show fly'.
I dont know how much practice is required in doing cobra and supercobra. but two weeks or a few weeks w
onnt be enough.

the aim is too please the audiance so as to provide visual eye candy--- incorporate the rolling 360 spin at every turn , do low and slow passes so that the audiance can actually see the fighter closely , know where the camera is so that you face it while making several moves etc


im not saying jft is incapable-- im just saying that these are fighter pilots first and not demo pilots , otherwise the moves routine wouldve been better

I agree with you. I attended an airshow in the USA some 2 years ago. The Blue Angels and the F-22 were there - fantastic! Then the airbase where we were, decided to fly 4 F-16s, i.e. normal pilots whose speciality if fighting wars = BORING!!!

AT 2:19 is W/C Ali's F16....is there any video of his performance?

They should have put the smokewinder pods, would have looked better?

F16s used it, God knows whose idea was it to keep them away from Thunder

 

[Safriz]
