That was the real quick and easy plumbing of IFR which was missing with 16-232 on 02.02.2017 (this picture date).
Yea, some folks were wondering that IFR Probe is missing on Block-2s, little realising that the plumbing is in place and the probe is removable.
 
Nice!
Impressive row of Thunders. Can anyone confirm that 233 was there and, if so, if it is the first with a 17- prefix?
 
In his address,
chief of air staff Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman said
JF-17 fighter jets have the capability comparable
to any advanced fourth generation aircraft across the world.

The Pakistan Air Force officially stood up its fifth JF-17 squadron today, AirForces Monthly’s correspondent Alan Warnes reports.

No 14 Air Superiority Squadron, known as ‘The Tail Choppers’, is based at PAF Base Minhas and is the second to re-equip with Block 2 JF-17 aircraft. However, it the first to fly the Block 2 operationally with the air-to-air refuelling probe fitted.

Prior to re-equipping with the Thunder, No 14 Squadron had operated the F-7P since September 1993.

The event also recognised Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Kamra’s feat of building and delivering 16 aircraft to the PAF in 2016, for the second consecutive year.
