In 1966 or 67--at Lahore railway station, at the book stall I saw this book---"Story Of The Paf Heroes" and made my dad buy it for me. It still sitting on the shelf at home.

Still love that book to this day.

Are the F35s meant to replace the F16s. Wonder why they would upgrade their F16 fleet,maybe a cost factor.

what does this has to do with PAF F16's????

. . .
They still rue that day, The day the PAF got away....
Unfortunately PAF failed to deliver the killer blow. Only Pathankot strike was successful. Simultaneous strike on Halwara was supposed to be 8x F-86. We could only muster 3. They were met with superior enemy numbers already alerted by Pathankot strike. Our lions went down fighting against all odds.
Similarly PAF Masroor was supposed to launch 8x F-86s against Jamnagar on the same day. However the strike was inexplicably called off by Base Commander A/Cdre Khaqan Abbasi (Father of the pants off former PM of Pakistan). Per A/Cdre Sajjad Haider, he should have been court martialed for cowardice.

Here are 2 good write ups on both .
