Hitting The Deck.
Most of you have seen this image, Official SOP is not to fly below 500ft. But our boys being boys broke all SOPs (with the Chief sitting in front) and decided to hit the deck below 100ft. Had it been any other Air Force, breaking SOPs, the pilots may have been grounded. But on that day everybody forgot the SOPs and enjoyed the buzz. I also learned that the six hour flight from Jordan to Pakistan was via UAE.

Memorable Flight.
Alan Warnes with the then OC of No 11 Squadron when he was flown in a F-16B for the famous JF-17 live firing shoot.

Only deficiency is it's not a full duplex but a half duplex data link. Airborne range is fine but for ground terminal, it seems less.

I was listening to the ATC feed of Karachi airport and there is an aircraft with call sign Pakistan Air Force 101...the pilot is a lady.
Are there female pilots in PAF other than a combat role? Do female pilots fly VIp as well?
@Windjammer...?

Yup, when they can't meet the requirements of combat roles, they are seconded to other duties, here in the video you can see @ 0.25 one of the female pilots getting training on a VIP jet.

VANISHING PROGRAMMABLE RESOURCES (VAPR)
Sophisticated electronics can be made at low cost and are increasingly pervasive throughout the battlefield. Large numbers can be widely proliferated and used for applications such as distributed remote sensing and communications. However, it is nearly impossible to track and recover every device resulting in unintended accumulation in the environment and potential unauthorized use and compromise of intellectual property and technological advantage.
The Vanishing Programmable Resources (VAPR) program seeks electronic systems capable of physically disappearing in a controlled, triggerable manner. These transient electronics should have performance comparable to commercial-off-the-shelf electronics, but with limited device persistence that can be programmed, adjusted in real-time, triggered, and/or be sensitive to the deployment environment.
VAPR seeks to enable transient electronics as a deployable technology. To achieve this goal, researchers are pursuing new concepts and capabilities to enable the materials, components, integration, and manufacturing that will realize this new class of electronics.
Transient electronics may enable a number of revolutionary military capabilities including sensors for conventional indoor/outdoor environments, environmental monitoring over large areas, and simplified diagnosis, treatment, and health monitoring in the field. Large-area distributed networks of sensors that can decompose in the natural environment (ecoresorbable) may provide critical data for a specified duration, but no longer. Alternatively, devices that resorb into the body (bioresorbable) may aid in continuous health monitoring and treatment in the field.
VAPR was announced with a broad agency announcement in January 2013.

A memorable picture of ACM Mushaf Ali Mir (Shaheed) with then a AVM, T M Ahmed with a very interesting bird in the background.

The Department of Defense awarded only six defense contracts in its Tuesday evening announcement of contract awards, released after stock markets closed for the day. The total value of contracts awarded was $96.3 million.
Four publicly traded defense companies won contracts, namely:
- United Technologies (NYSE: UTX ) , whose subsidiary won an $11 million sole-source, firm-fixed-price, foreign military sales contract to supply spare parts and support equipment to Pakistan under a "Pakistan DB-110 sustainment effort" that will continue through July 2015.
