Pilots of Pakistan Air Force ( PAF )

i was honoured to spend an evening with S. Sajad ''Nosy'' Haider at his Isloo residence in late 2009.

enjoyed a few cigars and spoke all about PAF past and present. Obviously he's put on some age since the time he was wearing his combat flight suit :D

he also signed a copy of his book on PAF which I had got from local bookstore

Abu bahi thx for the pix.. but boss is that you in the middle with black marked face covered?
 
np, there's a couple others as well.....im in the middle, his son Adnan is on the right
 
^^^ i love the way he said the jets are dropping like little birds and the other pilot told the interviwer not to sell british fighters to iaf, as they are bringing a bad reputation to the british fighters in the 65 war

i love the confidence in these chaps!

Waleed Ehsanul Karim

He was famous for his daring stunts with his F-86 Sabre. He took part in the Republic Day fly past at Rawalpindi on 23rd March 1964. He died when his recently repaired aircraft (which was hit by anti-aircraft guns at Rann of Kutch in the morning sortie) developed engine trouble and plunged into the Arabian sea about 10-15 miles off the south coast of Karachi in the night of 19 April 1965 when he was returning from a reconnaissance mission over Gujarat.
He had participated at the Rann of Kutch battle by dropping smoke bombs in daytime to screen the infantry attacks. Neither his body, nor the aircraft was recovered. But a part of the rudder was later recovered from the same location after two months. At that time he was a fighter pilot of 17th Sqaudron (the Tigers) of the Pakistan Air Force. Air Marshal Azim Daudpota was his Squadron Leader at that time. Flight Lieutenant M. Matiur Rahman, Bir Sreshtho, Air Vice Marshal Momtaz Uddin Ahmed were his course mates in both Sargodha and Risalpur.
 
I wonder if it is the history and the aura that came with them, but the pilots from the days of the sabres seem to have a different style to them...not exactly a tangible observation but I always feel that way whenever I see pics from the 60s and 70s.
 
Yes and I will try to get a group photo of 10GDP.

Ft Lt. Hameed Asghar was my Uncle , were you in same Squadron ?

Uncle Hameed Asghar Shaheed participated in both 1965 ,1971 Wars , embraced shahdat after Dahaca Fall 1971 near Ghoti Station by IAF.


I shall post his Photos soon.
