Lockheed Martin Pays Tribute To PAF F-16 Achievements !

[Yaseen1]

I think real way of giving tribute is to provide more of these to us and pressurize their govt to establish f16 manufacturing base in Pakistan

Lol speculations are rife.

that's not just one of the longest BVR kills on record

How does this kill stack up against the various kill(s) made by the Iranian Air Force using the AIM54 Phoenix?

Recently US Aircraft Manufacturer, Lockheed Martin carried pictures of a PAF F-16 Fighter Aircraft on their websites, F-16 is one of the several famous aircrafts the company manufactures. This particular aircraft was transferred to the PAF several years earlier so why post pictures of a jet which was produced some 27 years earlier and that too of one in PAF colours. Well guys, the news is that this is a tribute by LM to it's product and the PAF for creating another milestone on the 27th February and that's not just one of the longest BVR kills on record.

The pictures implicitly suggest that PAF’s F-16BM serial no. 92622 (flown by Squadron Leader Hassan Mehmood Siddique) shot down IAF’s SU-30. However; one of the patches of No. 11 Squadron shows different serial nos. 606 and 731. Could you elaborate on this based on your info?

No, LM probably used that picture as an illustration since i doubt they have images of every Viper flying with PAF.
The SU-30 Killer was indeed 606.

731 for MiG-21 Bison and 606 for SU-30 MKI that makes them a pair with 100% kill ratios.... both used AMRAAMs & scored two kills.

No; 606 is the SU-30 killer since it was shot down by F-16BM.

Currently the same aircraft is on strength of No 9 Squadron ''Griffins''. Here it's leading the formation on Pakistan Day Flypast.

Thnx for sharing sir
This fighter jet has some thing because every single photo of this jet just realised to feel proud even f35 has not similar feelings to us But f16 Just Wow. And then we blame PAF for their obsession with F16

Interesting choice of use the B version of F16 in the exhibit. The same version which shot down SU30.

Interestingly found the pictures of F-16AM serial no. 84709 with both No. 9 Squadron Griffins and No. 11 Squadron Arrows markings.

Pretty standard in PAF. Jets are moved around squadrons on a need to basis, usually after coming out to maintenance. Some JF-17s have been in there squadrons already

For the picture of the F-16B, there is nothing going on as we be thinking. It's an old picture and this jet was the pattern aircraft for the MLU program.

Guys you want to hear something even more exciting? Roughly 70% of Indians work at LM so imagine the burn when they are forced to represent Pakistani F16
