Paf Fighter Pilot Died In Jordan

No PAF does not but at the time of Burial/ interment his Sqd gives him a standard Fly Past.

I wish they would start a new tradition of the aircraft breaking away from the formation then. If they do a standard fly past, they might as well do the missing man.

I love the american way, I dont know what it is called,

its a standard formation flypast, but when it reaches the site, one of the aircraft breaks upwards into the sky. I think it is a very emotional way of showing respect to a soldier, a pilot.

Yes, that is the missing man formation. One of the aircrafts either pulls away over the funeral site or it's missing from the start.

May the brave pilot Rest in Peace. Its sad when good men die due to others' carelessness

CAME TO US FOR 3 MONTHS COURSE AND CAME TO VISIT ME, WE WERE TOGETHER FOR SOME TIME IN RISALPUR AND THEN WE USED TO MEET ONCE IN A WHILE AT SOME BASE ( MOSTLY KARACHI ) AS THEN HE WAS ON MIRAGES.
I WAS SUPPOSSED TO BE WITH HIM IN RISALPUR ON K -8'S, WHEN I DICIDED TO LEAVE PAF.
