Just one correction Its W/C Aamir Masood instead of Haseeb Paracha.

The correct list in the exact order is.
1. Air Marshal Ashfaq Arain (and serving)
2. Gp Capt Irfan Ahmed Khombo
3. Gp Capt. Aamir Masood
4. Gp Capt. Tariq Zia
5. Gp Capt. Fauad Masud Hatmi
6. Wg.Cmd. Ali Naeem Zahoor
7. Wg.Cmd. Zulfiqar Ayub

I thought W/C Aamir Masood comes under 3000 hour category, and G/C Haseeb Paracha is even listed by the F-16 Net.

PAF’s Shahbaz Air Base in 2012
Posted on June 29, 2012 by Najam Khan

PAF Air Base (AB) Shahbaz, Jacobabad is the new home of F-16s. The air base was expanded in late 2009/early2010 to accommodate the newly procured F-16 Block52 aircraft. Today Shahbaz AB has an operational F-16 C/D Block-52 squadron and a Mi-171 Search And Rescue (SAR) squadron. The F-16 A/B Block-15 aircraft which are undergoing Mid Life Update (MLU) are also placed at Shahbaz.

No.5 Multi Role Sqn operates 18 F-16C/D Block-52 aircraft.


PAF is modernizing its fleet of 45 F-16 A/B Block-15 to Block50 standard with the help of Turkish Aircraft Industries (TAI), Turkey. Seen above is one of the five F-16 MLU currently operated by PAF. Later this year, four more F-16 MLU are scheduled to be delivered to PAF. F-16 MLU has AN/APG-68 V(9) Multimode radar which gives its “six on six” pylon AIM-120 AMRAAM carrying capability.

I thought W/C Aamir Masood comes under 3000 hour category, and G/C Haseeb Paracha is even listed by the F-16 Net.

Thats wrong,W/C Aamir left active flying in 2008. PAF's pilot account on F-16.net has lots of flaws. G/C Haseeb has 1300/1400 hrs on F-16.

 

[DANGER-ZONE]

That is strange ! Last time when we saw MLU at delivery time, they had OLD wing-tip rails and many criticised it including me.
And now it is carrying Aim-120 on wing tip.

Here is the F-16BM 603, Notice the Wing tip Rail.

 

[Peaceful Civilian]

I think We should ask Martian to upgrade these f16 with AESA radar. Then these Upgrade will be worth for every penny

 

[mosu]

Turkish Aircraft Industries (TAI), is also a good what will they updating also worth every penny

AND HERE YOU GO FELLAS

That C-130 seems to be a special one since its the only C-130 with that many antennas beneath its fuselage. May be some EW kind of aircraft.

 

[Trailer23]

Turkish Aircraft Industries (TAI), is also a good what will they updating also worth every penny

For the record, Turkish Aircraft Industries, Inc. (TAI) and TUSAŞ Aerospace Industries, Inc. (TUSA&#350 merged under the name Turkish Aerospace Industries, Inc. (TAI) in 2005.
