No exchange pilots from USAF on F-6. In this case that's a Navy Tomcat driver who flew an orientation sortie.
Dude look up what an exchange pilot is.Dude all i said was that he may be an exchange pilot, never even mentioned the F-6.
An RAF visitor went up in an F-7 for a familiarization flight, doesn't mean that he was attached to an F-7 unit.
I know exactly what it means dear,however this is what you implied.....No exchange pilots from USAF on F-6.Dude look up what an exchange pilot is.
Then I'll add a little bit more. No exchange pilots from USA with PAF. Hope that clears the confusion.I know exactly what it means dear,however this is what you implied.....No exchange pilots from USAF on F-6.
What were the ROEs involved?This was the time when PAF F-16s repeatedly beat the Italian Typhoons during an exercise.

PAF seldom boasts or gives out such details, the news was actually reported by Alan Warnes.What were the ROEs involved?
Yes I have read that issue and clearly a proud feeling =). The reason I was asking is so that new readers don't start thinking we are invincible somehow against IAF. Those non-MLU Block 15s of the time would have been taken out at BVR ranges in a realistic scenario by the Typhoons using AIM-120.PAF seldom boasts or gives out such details, the news was actually reported by Alan Warnes.
It was a win-win for both. PAF learned a lot especially with the BVR phase, hence the fruition of that was seen on Feb 27th, 2019. Exercises are always mutually beneficial.Yes I have read that issue and clearly a proud feeling =).

In the pre-BVR era PAF's focus had been WVR combat and that is what they extensively trained for and were thus very good at. I believe you get better by playing/training against a better opponent. Italian Air Force probably learned some good lessons and valuable takeaways from that exercise in regards to dogfights. I am sure PAF learned something as well outside of WVR engagements. Win-win for everyone involved.
Feb 27th was a BVR shootout. What about wvr engagement of F-16s and JF-17s against indian migs mirages and sukhois. How will that pan out?

It wont be pretty if a JF 17 gets in wvr with a skilled Su30 pilot.Feb 27th was a BVR shootout. What about wvr engagement of F-16s and JF-17s against indian migs mirages and sukhois. How will that pan out? Any thoughts?
