It's sad how the English in our recruitment ads fell off a cliff. @Socra

So did the recruit pool. We need to balance out the ISSB pool from the military brats, rural areas and those with good exposure to world affairs.

We need the gaming kid on the flight sim as much as kid from the Chak.

It's surprising they're not able to better balance the pool considering how large cohorts are as of late, especially in the Army. If anything, the greater shift to technology and autonomous warfighting should lead to an increased proportion of officers in the future relative to men anyways (unless we up the standards for jawans, which is unlikely in light of the general socioeconomic gap). So, room should be made for expat and ex-dual national kids.

World record holder a true hero the legendary Air Commodore (r) M.M. Alam - Sitara-i-Jurat (with Bar)

This Falcon downed five aircraft in less than a minute — the first four within 30 seconds — establishing a world record. He also excelled in gunnery competition, a skill that without a doubt contributed greatly to his becoming the first and the only jet ace in one mission. (R.I.P)

A team of PAF technicians securing the India Air Force Ouragan Fighter which was forced to land at an open field near Jangshahi village, Badin in Sindh. The IAF pilot was Flt Lt Rana Lal Chand Sikk who intruded into Pakistani airspace on 24 June 1965. PAF F-104A Starfighters intercepted the IAF aircraft and before he was about to be shot down, the IAF pilot lowered the landing gears and signaled his surrender. The IAF pilot was taken prisoner and released on 14 August 1965 as a goodwill gesture on Pakistan’s Independence Day after a fantastic cup of tea

Flying officer Aliuddin holds the record for winning the Sher Afghan Trophy twice in a row. The entire Air Force was eligible to participate and he maintains his record of best fighter pilot with 100% score in 1968 and 1969. No other pilot holds this record.

Sher Afghan Trophy was instituted by Air Marshal Asghar Khan in the 60's and was given to the squadrons and individuals who had the high armament score during the yearly armament competition.

On asking this aircraft was not return but also not preserved who ever disposed it off was stupid enough to destroy history it should have been preserved in museum
