Defeated and humiliated IAF Chief ACM BS takes a jibe at PAF Chief

Is he driving for somebody more senior, or junior?
Asman se ghira khajoor mein ataka!!....yes you are right he is driving for a senior person who I believe happens to be our ex PM. I hope you understand his jest.
 
The reason for the reporter even asking such a question ? It is this propoganda ( needless, IMHO ) about the PAF Air chief flying his own jet. See this very forum: how many videos of how many PAF Chiefs are posted , all skillfully edited to make the general public think that he is flying all by himself ?

Be honest to yourself before finding faults in Air Marshal DHanoa's statement.

And also note, this IAF Air Chief DOES fly his own jet. Which happens to be the most difficult jet to fly in the IAF inventory

 
Well guys it,s a truth that the air chief on 23 march parade always sit on a back seat and the front pilot actually fly the jet.
Previously it was hidden but this time it was told to public that wg/cdr nouman ali was present in the two seater F16.
Actually it,s the policy of all airforces to not to send senior most officer alone in the sky.
But nevertheless it was a cheap shot by IAF chief.An officer of this rank and this age should not behave like this even after getting defeated recently by PAF.
 
Because he has been in office for years and is thus non-ops...he'll have to go for about a 4-6 months course to become ops again.
Our Air Chief Nur Khan took part in air war against India and lead many air assault missions.

During 1964–65, the Air Staff had been fighting with the Cabinet over the rearmament and contingency plans with the Ministry of Defence (MoD) and Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA) as the Air Staff wanted coordinated efforts if there was a retaliation.:125–127[15] The outgoing Air Marshal Asghar Khan handed over the ceremonial baton to Air Marshal Nur Khan and did not briefed him about the impending operations in Indian administered Kashmir since the latter was not aware of it himself.[16] However, there were suspicions regarding the secret operations undertaken by the army in the Air AHQ due to subsequent skirmishes in the eastern border.[16] Therefore, Nur Khan called then-Army Commander in Chief General Musa Khan who admitted that "something was afoot." However, General Musa Khan assured Air Marshal Nur Khan of Indian not retaliating despite Nur Khan's strong reaction.[16] Very few details of plan were emerged to both Nur Khan and Navy Commander in Chief Vice Admiral Afzal Rahman Khanand briefly wrote: "Rumours about an impending operation were rife but the army had not shared the plans with other forces."[16]

During the war with India in 1965, Nur Khan became a national fame and hero when he maintained an aerial supremacy against Indian IAF despite its shortcomings.[17] He led the bombing missions during the war using the C-130 Hercules for that purpose in support to the army advances.[18] His actions of valor and efforts won him the praise in all over the country after the war; he was credited with turning the tide of the war in his country's favor that gained air superiority in the first 24 hours.[3][19]

After the war, he was publicly honored and was famed figure in the country. In 1967, Nur Khan volunteered to serve in the allegiance of Arab countries' Air Forces against Israel during the Six-Day War.[20] He served in many aerial missions and witnessed the dogfight with Israeli IAF whose pilots noted his aerial skills during the conflict.[20] In fact, the Israeli IAF's fighter pilot, Major-General Ezer Weizman, the former Israeli President (1993–2000) and Defence Minister (1977–80), wrote in his autobiography that: "He was a formidable fellow and I was glad that he was Pakistani and not an Egyptian".[20][21]

After the Six-Day conflict, Nur Khan returned to Pakistan to complete his tenure as Commander-in-Chief of Pakistan Air Force under President Ayub Khan and retired in 1969.

Did that prevent Abhinandan landing here uninvited for tea?
