Yes sir, you are absolutely right. The SpiceJet was just a reference.

By the way, the term 'Sharlets' are on airbus a320 Family (a318/319/320/321).

SpiceJet operates Boeing737's. And it is not necessary that branding be done on the Winglets/Sharlets.

Some of the Winglets on our B737 do not have flydubai on them. Those aircrafts are usually on short-lease.

Exiting, F-16 showed his belly - it was clean, no missiles.

Wondering why the Viper is unarmed, possibly because it was only doing a visual check?

Gents,

I hate to be late at a good debate.

These are 4 x F-16s escorting Gulfstream G450 of Sohail Aman while he was enroute to Islamabad for the last time as chief.

Some more shots from the same occasion.

Tribute & Acknowledgement. After Operation Swift Retort, Lockheed Martin Displayed This Picture of a PAF F-16 on Their Websites. Remember LM No Longer Produces This Version of F-16. It Was Both a Tribute and Acknowledgement of PAF's Achievements and First Kill of The Top Soviet Fighter, The SU-30MKI of The Indian AirForce.

Not exactly true.

Lockheed posted this photo on Instagram for Wallpaper Wednesday. Infact, this exact screenshot has been taken by myself. Made a thread about it back then.

Anyone here in knowledge of an incident in recent history whereby a PAF F-16 took out a PAF Mirage using a live AAM in a training sortie?

It was a Mirage on Mirage incident involving aircraft from 7 squadron, they went on a practice bombing mission and on the return leg decided to do an ACM. Unfortunately the MP forgot to switch off his master arm switch and fired an AIM.9L shooting down his wingman who ejected safely.

Thanks for clarification.
