Saw it on Instagram couple of days ago and got curious so checked her insta page link which was in the picture. Forgot the name and no way of tracing it back.
From the pictures I don't think with PAF anymore. Aeronautical Engineer now a commercial pilot in US. She claims to be of NYC origin.
Whew!
I thought it was a picture of an anchor or blogger or cancer patient. These days, from politicians to army generals get a chance to wear the suit am fly in the backseat for a joyride.
Wasting life of the machine for stunts... Sed Lyf.
They should rather fly them in the trainers like K8 or Mushak etc if it's soo necessary.
Also, We all agree that airshows don't need our good aricrafts and pilots wasting their time and life.
For a common man and his morale boosting, even the trainers or block 1s Jf 17s would suffice. They won't even be able to differentiate lol.
For us, seeing them in combat/operational excercises like DACT, or launching training sorties and targetting ground targets holds much more importance.
Anyways, we aren't getting any F-16s if U.S demands for full price.
We already have made arrangements with China to fulfill our needs which additional F-16s would have provided, for the near future i.e 10 to 15 years.
