The perils of joint production of jf-17, PAC and its aides are truly enabling the aviation industry to help pakistan's armed forces.
 
Hello people.
Does anyone have the pictures of the burnt P3Cs of PN in the incident at Karachi.The reason I ask is we have recently seen a P3C having been repaired. However from what I can remember 2 of the P3C were atually toasted. Now the question is was there a 3rd plane that was damaged and now has been repaired or was this really another miraculous feat by PAC.
All I could find was a photo from Dawn Paper. Help would be appreciated.

If PAC has repaired these cinder blocks than its just mind boggling

In this pic one can clearly see three P-3C Orion aircraft parked near to each other but only one aircraft at the far right is burning
Mehran Base Attack.jpg


second pic at the morning show only one P-3C which was burned completely

so the chances are P-3C near the burning one also received some damages, but the extent is not known, btw if we assume the P3-C shown in the below picture is the same one which at the time of Mehran base was parked near the burning P3-C then probably the fuselage is in recoverable state.(keeping the SAAB-2000 experience in mind)

I believe its not possible to recover that particular P-3C

Great post and thanks. I agree that the Cinderbox as you called it is not good for anything but salvage of unburnt parts. I did think the personnel at the time managed to pull 1 or possibly 2 planes away from the burning plane.Those migh have received damage which has now been repaired.

with some certainty we can say that PN is having 8 upgraded operational P3C, not a bad number....
 
Is there some other small plane on the left side of burning aircraft?
