It is clearly shooting at the flying tank that is not captured by the picture, obviously.

Why is this discussion even in this thread? Air Force Monthly did not publish this picture, photoshopped or not.

The thread obviously started as AFM news back in 2008 but since it has transformed into a daily PAF news/discussion section.
Perhaps the @mods need to look into the thread title. !!

PAF pilot at Holloman AFB.

G training..
F-16 pilots generally get to go the US..
other pilots head out to South Korea.

So is that a requirement for a viper pilot?

PAF pilot at Holloman AFB.

Woaha... good to see that... but i don't think it is holloman because it used to be a "black" base home to the nighthawks.... might be Luke AFB.

Had become now for all Viper and PG pilots.. and for all JF-17 ones in due course.

Pilots are being trained in g-tolerance like never before.. and are quite buff now as well.
See some of this new crop.. and you feel like you just walked into a body building event.

Much better than some bellies you saw previously!!!

The young lot in all fields has become much more fitness conscious now, with the gym and all.

BTW, when is the pilot sent for this in his PAF career? And do we have some sort of agreement with US for this?

Not sure what agreement was with the US.. but quite possibly something free as part of training and exchange.

The one with South Korea(and one other nation) is a contract based one.

The role assigned to PG pilots..and to an extent F-16 ones.. is very demanding..
I have seen a few pilots coming back from a training ACM mission.. and they were sweating and worn out worse than someone who has been in the gym for an hour.

Maybe this is the facility they use in SK...Republic of Korea Air Force « ETC Aerospace Solutions ETC Aerospace Solutions

Flying a plane at 6 to 7 g for sustained time is very difficult ...as said by somebody I know.

Also interesting to see that PG pilots getting such training, indicating a important role for the PG and significance of the plane in PAf or are the pilots being bred for the future? Or simply a improvement in training regime?

Depends on the role of the air craft..
PG pilots along with F-16 drivers are much more likely to pull higher g's than the more ground attack focused Mirages.
