That would have been one damn tough evolution exercise.
No wonder the requirements/setup that the PAF wanted to be incorporated into its fleet of the f16 of GD was very impressive at the time so impressive the usaf also incorporated them in its own subsequent batches

The first batch that landed in Saudi Arab were initially refused by the PAF as it was found that they were incorporating a less capable radar, the aircraft remained there until they were fitted with the APG-68.

Wow - good find - thanks for posting that - news to me he flew the F16.

Same here. This is first time I saw this picture and come to know about the legend that he also evaluated F-16.

MM Alam either evaluated or was from the first batch that went to France for the conversion course for the mirage.

Do u know if he had a role in the induction of the f 6 as well ?
