Prime Minister Imran Khan certainly looks menacingly serious. I hope he lifts Pakistan to become a strong and united nation, in-sha-Allah. JF-17 Thunder display, was spectacular, ma-sha-Allah.

there was a page where they were advertising what they were getting rid off; then f-16 inventory was taken off it; the assumption was it was bought by PAF (these were the aircraft deemed to have too many hours, i believe).

There were taken off as a company in the US was going to acquire them as aggressors for training USAF pilots in air combat. That deal did not pan out

I am kinda interested in what is going on with Jordanian Air Force. Now they are also selling their two AC-235 gunships that they upgraded only in 2014? Talk about poor planning. At the same time, something that PAF could find useful

PAF bought 120 F-86 sabres starting in 1954.
The jets served PAF until 1980.
Picture shows a newly bought batch of the jets lined up at Masroor air base Karachi.
