. .
. . . . . . .
This is not used by Army Aviation. you can clearly see the emblem of Govt. of Pakistan on the door. Army Aviation helos does not use govt. logo on their aircarft. it must be of 6 squadron, which is used by cabinet members, based at Islamabad heliport.

No tigers with Army,
believe it, please
:no:

Very nice pictures hassan1, i highly appreciate ur effort, however, i agree to blackwater that tiger is not in use with pak army as yet, though it is under consideration, and blackwater sir, as far as MD-500 is concerned i read somewhere that it is used by ISI, is it true?
 
.
well it is reported that PA is going to phase out the old fleet of Lama helicopters, any idea what will replce them. the heights of northren areas where lama were used is a key factor in giving a replacement!

regards!

great job hasan1

the med-lift helos in use by the PAA are the many variants of the Mil Mi-17 and the AS330 Puma's.

the Mil-8's have been withdrawn from service.
ditto for the LAMA's, Navy LYNX's and the OH-13s.

the Schweizer 300's are used for training of pilots and...

the MD-500's are used exclusively by the ISI.
