Death anniversary of Legendary Air Marshal Malik Nur Khan Awan [22 February 1923 – 15 December 2011]
Air Marshal Nur Khan Awan HJ,HQA, HS, SPk, SQA, an ultimate Legendary C-in C, Icon Leader & A Fearless Commander who led from the front.

The list of the great icons and legacies of Pakistan cannot be completed without the name of Air Marshal (Retd) Nur Khan. However, we Pakistanis lost this legendry icon on the December 15, 2011 when he left for his final resting place. His services as a military man, especially during the 1965 Pakistan-India war, can never be forgotten as well as his services to raising the name of Pakistan at the international level in sports such as Squash, Hockey and Cricket and raising the status of PIA to the Best Airline in the world.

He was a man of steel, a man of iron will who altered the course of everything of which he was given authority, in the positive direction.

Fly past 2021
Like many prestigious traditions that PAF still carries to this day, the leading of Pak Day fly-past by the Air Chief is probably the most honourable one. Over the years, all the Air Chiefs’ have made it their own. During this year’s Pak Day parade, the legacy of leading the fly-past was continued by Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu.
