I did not see that picture. Anyways, glad pilot is safe.

If you look closely, next to his wings, its the emblem of LIFT (Lead-In Fighter Trainer) squadron so may be an F-7P ?

If I remember correctly, PAF's UAV kill in June 2002 was made by Sqn. Ldr. Zulfiqar flying solo in F-16B.

If this is true, then why dont they assign J-10s to this new squadron and leave No. 15 as is? Just curious about the logic behind this.

I think the guy on the extreme left is Shafique Haider..

I think its Eurofighter Typhoon when the Air Chief visited UK. This was reciprocated by UK Air Chief when he was flown in an F-16B in Pakistan. Hope I am correct :)

Regarding the Minhasians photo above, would have been a nice poster had they not copied and pasted the aircraft with same serials.

Hahah... no I just listen (or read) more and talk less... only talk when I have something meaningful and useful to say .. so many senior and knowledgeable members on this forum.. keep up the good work, you all..

May be the purpose of this land is to develop a weapons range similar to Thal or Somiani, rather than an air base for aircraft in Shahbaz and Samungli bases? "And member since 2006 with an average of 2 replies/year when do I get promoted to a Pilot Officer? :-) "

Judging by the golden braids on her cap and rank badges, she appears to be a Group Captain.

I had this poster in my room :-). Standing in front of a fully bombed up F-16 (12x MK-82s & 4x AIMs) and Potohar jeep with title something like "What else could you ask for"..

Pretty sure his name was Zafar Ahsan. His younger brother was my senior in UET, Lahore. Also one of the pilots who ejected from F-16B was Faaiz Amir who later retired as AVM.

This is MPDR.

I think the leftmost person is Group Captain Mushtaq, back in the days when he was OC Flying, Minhas.

Isn't CCS F-7 called "Dashings" & Mirage squadron "Skybolts"?

I believe this was one of two embargoed F-16s finally received in Dec 2005. 92 must be the year of manufacture.

AVM "Athar" Bokhari, not Akhtar. May Allah grant him highest place in Jannah..

Don't think so. I believe Indian UAV downed in June 2002 was also a night kill by F-16B flown by Sqn.Ldr. Zulfiqar and another pilot.

No. I was responding to your original note about "passenger flights". I see you have edited your post to highlight C-130 passenger flights. That may very well be the case.

Don't think so. My family just returned from Lahore last week (went in early May). Air corridor to/from India may be closed but flights from western approach are operating normally as per knowledge.
