Indeed you're correct but not maybe looking outside for pictures....you should appreciate the fact that at least he went over there...no one else showed up.....I would put a humble request to please refrain from such comments about our leaders (whether zardari, rehman or whosoever)....

Thanks for your view Sonny Boy!! No one else showed up because the decision to have the JF-17's at the show was made last minute. Nawaz Sharif did not come to London for JF-17's, he came here to visit his family, enjoy the good weather and ensure that his high-end properties are doing well. Visit to Farnbourough was suggested to him by one of his local party-wala to score any puny political points over the other party!
But I have lived long enough to call a dick when I see one may it be Zardari or Nawaz Sharif!

A few pics of Farnborough 2010 - 24th July by a long time reader, first time poster.
I had the privilege of actually visiting the air show today. It was good to see our JF-17's lined. Here are a few Q/A I had with the pilots, ground staff:
Q: Where have these planes come from?
A: No. 26 Squadron (Black Spiders) based in Kamrah.
Q: Where did you stop over?
A: Suadi Arabia, Turkey, Italy (Cyprus?) ...
Q: Can this do BVR?
A: Yep, BVR, Air-to-sea and AA. It is a very versatile little plane.
Q: Now the big question, you've got two of these here .. why aren't you flying?
A: We didn't get enough time to prepare. This would have been JF-17's first international public show and we couldn't afford to go out without being prepared. It would have hurt JF-17's image and also the commercial prospects. We are flying soon inshAllah in China (November) but if you really want to see us fly, we are departing on Tuesday, come and see us take to the skies
(Not exact word to word quotes, this is the summary of the discussions I had with the pilot)
Now my favourite ...
Q: Can it take on Sukhoi 27's?
A: Why not .... ?!
When he said that, he had no fear in his eyes, confidence in his stance and so much power in his voice that I felt like he can easily put down 20 sukhoi's with only one shot off his JF-17.
I had me head held up high due the to the presence of the planes, after this reply, I had my head held up even higher because of that PAF pilot.
