Beg to differ...ACM Jamal always flew solo and infact me made a point of that in all his fly pasts.. it was Shamim that flew dual and then I think most ACMs flew solo until Kaleem Saadat I think. Also secondly, I don't think the flypast went normally...just watch the A5 formation...I have never seen it in such a chaos ever beforeCause was trim failure in the flight controls. Pilot ejected but chute didn't deploy. Formation went normally as planned. Nobody heard anything on the radio until they were done with the flypast (my dad flew left wing in the lead formation with the F-16s).
ACM Jamal flew in an F-16B with Wing Commander Amjad Javed in the backseat as a safety pilot. After they landed at Chaklala, Amjad Javed then took off and flew the F-16A solo demo.
The F-16 flown by Amjad Javed vs ACM Jamal were two different F-16s which was always the case in all March 23 flypasts. Note the white smoke trailer containers on wingtips in Amjad's F-16 and no center line fuel tank. Jamal's F-16 had a center line fuel tank and no smoke trail containers. I lived in Chaklala so Jamal's F-16 (and this is true for all ACMs) landed in Chaklala but another F-16 for the aerobatics flew directly from Sargodha (in this case flown by Amjad Javed) and landed back in Sargodha...trust me I know this as I lived there and my dad worked directly with Jamal. Jamal always practiced a few sorties prior to the showBeg to differ...ACM Jamal always flew solo and infact me made a point of that. it was Shamim that flew dual.
