Pakistan is currently the largest non-Chinese F-7 operator, with ~120 F-7P and ~60 F-7PG. The Pakistan Air Force is to replace its entire fleet of F-7 with the JF-17 multirole fighter, all F-7P are planned to be retired and replaced with JF-17 Thunder aircraft by 2015.

People's Liberation Army Air Force: 290× J-7 plus 40× JJ-7 trainers remained in service (As of February 2012).
People's Liberation Army Naval Air Force: 30× J-7D/E remained in service (As of February 2012). I think chinese airforce has lots of out dated fighter jets ever !

might mean a pretty much end to his dream
and by the way its one of the very few occasions where the pilot survived. so many crashes have also resulted in pilot fatalities.

Does the pilot gets grounded if he crashes a plan? Is it in PAF's R&R or is it that the pilot is under so much psychological trauma that he's unable to fly anymore?

To definitively say that his career is over is a bit harsh.

Nobody knows the exact causes as of yet. If it was a mech failure, engine failure, hydraulics etc, then the pilot gets free, if the pilot did do a **** up, then he would be grounded.

The board of inquiry determines the future course of action for the pilot.

As for the psychological trauma, yes stuff like that does happen.

Well his career as a fighter pilot is over, if my uncle's story is to be trusted. My uncle, to be honest I don't remember his rank at the time, was flying around Karachi when the engine of his Mirage III caught fire. He was advised by the tower to eject, which he did. No fault of his own was ever ascertained but he was quietly removed from his squadron and given the option of joining the ground staff or the transport wing. Transport was the way he went, flew C-130s for a while, then flew Benazir and Nawaz around, then came back to his C-130s, then was something in the "Pakistan Squash something something", then retired as an Air Commodore and is now serving in Air Blue.

Don't know if his crash was the actual reason behind his move or that he just got scared, but this is what he tells everyone.
