One thing to Note is that the JF-17 is leading with F-16 and Rafale on either sides. So if this is an official patch from PK then it is showing that PK has shifted emphasis from F-16 to Thunders.

My understanding is The most potent fighter aircraft are listed in the patch, Thunders from Pak, Vipers from Turkey and Rafale from Qatar

It should be noted that AM Khalid Mehmood is a former JF-17 display pilot.

Is he the first Thunder pilot to become AVM?

No I mean of all AVMs is he the first Thunder pilot to reach this rank? Or have previous AVMs also been Thunder pilots?

 

[wasileo80]

Is he the first Thunder pilot to become AVM?

No, the very first JF-17 pilot who flew the JF-17 on 23rd March 2007 and perform the solo display was AVM Ch. Ahsen Rafique then Wing Commander. He was perhaps also the first test pilot of JF-17 from PAF.

E is for Engineering branch. Crescent is for GDP branch. Crescent color (White, Blue, Red) depends on the number of flying hours. Also the shape of wings is different for Engineering and GDP branches
