Lolz, well, PAF seem to care about that so.... fair enough i would say.
Mostly such honors are mentioned at fuselage like by the pilot canopy/cockpit. Do not suites in tail art but as i said, even if the world air forces do not know/recognise this, PAF cares so i would say this is fair enough.

But you must admit, it is one lazy tail-art. What was their second choice? A portrait of Rashid Minhas Shaheed himself? They could've and should've come up with something much better. Like one of the members here proposed, even just the star of the medal would look a lot better.

Even the tail-art on the other two squadrons is pretty shabby. No.16 could have done much better with the below proposed fan-art, or was it first-concept?

But they instead decided to give the poor animal a face that even its own mother won't love. What is this,

Why is the face so disproportionately big to its body? Why is it turned around in an impossible manner? Is it possessed? Why does it look nothing like a panther's face? Why does it have a scruffy mane and long pointy ears? Panthers don't have them, feral cats do. Why are the ears lowered towards the sides? Panthers don't do that...... This is all because, in their self-acclaimed infinite wisdom, they decided to just take the panther head from their squadron patch and superimpose it on a ready-made graphic.....

I won't even start on the horrendous Cheetah (not leopard) stencilled onto the fuel tanks. Thankfully they got rid of it.

While No.26's spider looks a lot saner, it's too small. They should've standardised. You can't have super big tail-art for one squadron and then apply a smudge for the others. Even the font sizes and layouts of the squadron names on the EW box on the tail aren't the same.

Our servicemen need to realise that, contrary to what they believe and are taught, they are not all in all. They are trained to do a specific thing, for the rest they should employ others. This is so embarrassingly obvious from their presentations to their posters to their marketing techniques for the Thunder. This is not the 5th grade where you look around amongst yourselves and pick the kid who says he'll do it, you employ professionals.

It's baffling because No. 5's F-16s look OK. I wonder if the Americans just told them, "alright, no one touches the tail!" and got it done themselves...

The other thing is this use of the complete flag (and in colour). They should grayscale it so that fades into the tail, not stick out! Or perhaps just let the crescent and star float in the space (no flag), in grey.
