I think, he is from Pakistan Navy.

Nops, its wore by AF or Navy both and its done around the world. Just for visibility issues. Orange being a bright color, is more easily visible, especially from air. In case a pilot is down, orange color will be clearly visible from the air.

Why don't we see every pilot wearing orange then ?
Or is it a matter of personal preference ?
 
@Windjammer @fatman17 have you read Air Chief's fresh interview in AFM by Alan warnes yet?

Main things Air Chief said are :

1 - Air Chief CONFIRMED that Block III will have AESA and expanded arsenal.

2 - Sniper pod with GBU-10/12 is standard fit on F-16 for Strikes.

3 - Db-110, C-130s with Star Safire EO/IR turrets and all other ISR assets are being utilized.

4 - Now pilots with around 250 hours on Mirage / F-7s are converting to F-16 and then JF-17.

5 - Three JF-17s will go to Paris Air Show 1 for static and 1 for aerial display while 3rd as backup.

6 - LIFTs ( Lead-in Fighter Trainer ) Air Chief said like T-50 and L-15 are costly and unaffordable so training is being modified until we get dual seat JF-17s which is set to make maiden flight in 2016 ( In China )

This would indicate that J-10 is out. F-16's would be upgraded with Aesa radar too when ever USA permits.

4 - Now pilots with around 250 hours on Mirage / F-7s are converting to F-16 and then JF-17.
Still this does not solve the long term issue of training aircraft requirement.

6 - LIFTs ( Lead-in Fighter Trainer ) Air Chief said like T-50 and L-15 are costly and unaffordable so training is being modified until we get dual seat JF-17s which is set to make maiden flight in 2016 ( In China )
L-15's and T-50 are out. PAF has finally corrected their mistake... @MastanKhan your long time wish has been fulfilled :yahoo:

dual seat JF-17 + western avionics with ej-200 engine base jf-17 for customers like saudia and middle eastern countries is highly important
but still our jf-17 lacks HMD which is really disappointed
