Pakistan version of 'Red Arrows' of the UK....

[empiretocommonwealth]

Hi All,

I'm hoping I'm posting this in the correct place!

My question is where the Air Force of Pakistan has its own version of say the British Red Arrows?

If they do exist, what are they called, please?

Many thanks,

+ Anthony

Cool.
Very sad news about the Red Arrows pilot.

There is much more information on the Sherdils on this forum. Browse around, there's even a sticky thread on K-8's, the jets flown by the Sherdils.

Very cool-looking K-8 "Karakorum" trainers, flown by the "Sherdils" aerobatic team.

They used to fly with ex-USAF primary trainer T-37.

We are quite old in this field, even our pilots have participated in UK with BLUE DIAMONDS

THE RAF "BLUE DIAMONDS" AT FARNBOROUGH
SEPTEMBER 1961

In 1961, Flight Lieutenant Hameed Anwar, a young PAF Officer on exchange posting with the British Royal Force, brought ditinction to his parent Service by being selected as a member of the RAF's official display team. Hameed, a veteran of the PAF's own formation aerobatics team, was eagerly welcomed into the "Blue Diamonds". The painting shows the tem of sixteen Hunters performing at the Farnborough Air Show.
