We should remember that Honorable Saif-ul-Azam retired as part of Bangladesh Airforce, and that might be a record of sorts - Flying for 4 airforces.

Welcome Back Sir G !!!!!!!!!!!!!! You vanished for really long time

By the way this is epic

Yesterday or may be a day before Attaullah Esa Khan khelvi was at PAC and guess what he was there to entertain. It was French delegation. Enough said !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nopes, not enough said I wanna know more Like what were the French doing at PAC because they certainly didn't understand a single world of what Mr. Esa Khelvi was singing.

May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'aala give Guidance to our government so they make available all the required resources for PAF. Buying 5th generation planes is going to cost a lot of money. We have taken many loans for various purposes. This is one goal for which I don't mind taking billions of dollars in loans.

One of the guys among there delegation has senior post at Dassault Aviation

I hope they don't make them see rose gardens in those Mirage-2000-9s. We need to move forward towards 5th generation and France as yet does not wield any 5th gen plane. Then again, there was an MoU signed with a French company to provide maintenance tech for RD-93 engine. Hoping for the best...

When I am searching for ebooks I found something exciting.

F16 Block 50/52+ Manual:

Just Google it " f16 CD manual"
"Sr71 manual"
I'm not giving links, as it may be unlawful to post direct link here as per PDF policy?

Dude there's a whole f16 simulator available for general public in which u can almost perform anything which a real f16 can do and all its manuals,limitations and DASH is available...e.g u can bomb targets in the simulator just like a real f16(all procedures to be performed accordingly from startup to the pickle release) and I use it myself whenever i get the time

The Royal Air Force’s Chief of Air Staff, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stephen Hillier, visited the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) last week. During his three-day trip from March 30 to April 1 he spent time with the PAF CAS, Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman and was briefed on the PAF’s ongoing fight against terrorism, which is conducted under Operation Zarb-e-Azb.

On March 31 Hillier visited the newly named PAF Academy Asghar Khan (formerly Risalpur) where he was chief guest at a graduation ceremony for the 118th Combat Support Course and 39th Basic Learning Pilots Course. During his speech, the RAF CAS said: “the RAF made a valuable contribution towards the development of PAF especially in its early years – a contribution that was deeply appreciated.” He went on to add: “the relations between two countries and, of course the two air forces, will continue to strengthen even further.”

During a visit to Mushaf Air Base the following day, the RAF CAS reinforced his sentiment when he announced that the PAF’s 9 Multirole Squadron ‘Griffins’, which flies F-16A/Bs, would twin with the RAF’s No 9 ‘Bats’ Squadron currently flying Tornado GR4s. It is unclear what the twinning will mean, given the high level of operational activity that the two units are involved in. Both squadrons are participating in ongoing operations against terrorism – the PAF in the FATA region of Pakistan and the RAF over Syria and Iraq.

Air Chief Marshal Aman said: “No 9 Squadrons of both the air forces have a rich legacy and have been frontline squadrons since their inception. The twinning of these squadrons would help us in learn from each other and strengthen our cordial relations.”

While addressing the occasion ACM Hillier said: “The Pakistan Air Force is respected world over due to its sound professionalism and deeply respected in the [United Kingdom].” He added: “The twinning of these renowned squadrons will further develop their capabilities and lay a foundation to build on the legacy of our predecessors.”

Earlier in the day, both the air chiefs flew a mission in separate 9 Squadron F-16Bs. It was the first time that a foreign CAS had participated in a joint mission with a PAF CAS. Alan WarnesView attachment 388919

Guess our ACM does not have an endorsement on F sola. He has to piggy back in a dual. He must have been a Mirage boy during his flying career.

No he was a top gun. now a days ACMs don't fly much.

Any GDP who is away from regular flying and is posted in office always goes through a short conversion course whenever he starts regular flying(no matter how much he has flying hours on that aircraft) so if ACM has to fly an F16 he will have to go through that conversion again..

The ACM is a professional through and through.

Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) Hurkus aircraft has completed its first missile launch with a Roketsan L-UMTAS laser-guided long-range air-to-surface anti-tank missile. The March 7 test was conducted at the Firing Test and Evaluation Group Command test range near the central Anatolian town of Konya-Karapinar. Alongside the L-UMTAS, the Hurkus will be armed with Roketsan UMTAS infrared-guided anti-tank missiles, Cirit laser-guided 70 mm rockets as well as bombs upgraded with Teber precision guidance kits; has five stores pylons and will be able to carry a payload of 1,500 kg. As well as operating as a basic trainer, the aircraft will be used for light assault and armed reconnaissance missions in the counter-insurgency role. The type is planned to enter into service in 2018.

The US Air Force just demonstrated an autonomous F-16 that can fly and take out a target all by itself.

In its quest to meet and exceed the challenges of the future, the US Air Force has been increasingly looking to unmanned systems — and a recent test proved that an unmanned F-16 can now think and fight on its own.

The US has used F-16 drones before as realistic targets for the F-35 to blow up in training, but on Monday it announced fully autonomous air-to-air and ground strike capabilities as a new capability thanks to joint research between the service and Lockheed Martin’s legendary Skunkworks.

Not only did the F-16 drone figure out the best way to get there and execute a ground strike mission by itself, it was interrupted by an air threat, responded, and kept going.

“We’ve not only shown how an Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle can perform its mission when things go as planned, but also how it will react and adapt to unforeseen obstacles along the way,” said Capt. Andrew Petry of the Air Force Research Laboratory in a Lockheed Martin statement.

But having F-16 drones plan and fly their own missions is only part of a much larger picture. The future of the US Air Force may well depend on advanced platforms like F-35s commanding fleets of unmanned drones which can act as additional ears, eyes, and shooters in the sky during battles.

The Air Force has what’s called an “open mission system” where it designs all platforms to network together and share information. Essentially, even an unmanned drone will have decision-grade data fed to it from everything from satellites in the sky to radars on the ground.

Lockheed Martin calls it the “loyal wingman” program, where drone systems like old F-16s can seamlessly network with F-35s and think on its feet.
