Three Pakistani F-6s from the 15th squadron, painted in the color of natural metal, in flight by formation.

Only the aircraft in the foreground is equipped with a brake parachute container at the base of the keel. Two other F-6s, "3311 black" and "1817 black", are early-type aircraft, to which the container was not installed.

All three vehicles are equipped with additional pylons under the wing for suspension of US air-to-air missiles AIM-9 "Sidwinder", such weapons were available only on Pakistani F-6.

The pylons were installed by the Pakistanis during the planned repair. Aircraft carry red stripes on the fuselage, and the blackboard side number is duplicated in the bow and tail section.
