Pakistan Navy Farewell ceremony of Fokker F27

[Myth_buster_1]

should have been retired back in 1947! A flying donkey cart would have served better.
btw what could it possibly achieve against 21st century modern submarines?

My first ever Air plane travel was in fact on a Fokker, flying from Karachi to Mohenjadaro on day long school trip back in 1982.

Where did you land in Mohenjodaro?

MSA

peeli patti

Also used to transport families of officers around (for a token fee).

With the Fokkers gone, No. 27 sqn will be deactivated until new aircraft are inducted. It is said the Saab Swordfish is under consideration.

So what did ATRs replace?

No. 29 sqn ATR-72s replaced No. 27 sqn Fokkers in the roles the latter used to perform - surveillance, ASW, OTHT, para drops & cargo transport.

The P-3C fleet was reduced in the Mehran attack, and in 2018, CNS Abbasi outlined a new LRMPA requirement in one of his interviews (link).

All aircraft are flown till their air-frame life comes to an end.
Fokkers served PN Aviation for approx 32 years and served it well.

It was extensively utilized in more ways than it was designed for.

I had many of my training missions on these Fokkers.

An end of an era.

At least one fokker used to fly over my office every single morning until fairly recently. These aircraft were true workaholics for PN for sure.

Where did you land in Mohenjodaro?
There was small Air strip near the city but it was not really an airport.

Yes they were.
They served PN very well, true workhorses.
Our flight line maintained them very well.

Saab is battle proven & cost effective. Also PAF is satisfied with saab 2000.

with every thing in this world, we need to move on to newer platform with extensive upgrades. this is life and reality, older systems and people fade out and are taken over by newer things and more smart people.
