Hows the weather in Islamabad these days? During my time, this time of the year, it used to be bit flaky as far as rains are concerned. Pray that downpour wont spoil this great event, which has got geopolitical significance as well.

A friend who was at today's full dress rehearsals gave the following feed back on the airdisplay,
@MastanKhan @Oscar @Taimoor Khan @HRK @The Eagle @gambit

''This years JF and Falcon displays are different and more entertaining (spitting out of flares is more often) and the pilots have taken greater initiative in freedom of their manoeuvres. The JF display was even more nerve-wrecking as the chap flew at 100-150ft which was simply madness. Even the men in blue sitting next to me were like WTH is he doing. The crowd was thrilled. The most nail-biting was the way he manoeuvred in for the high-alpha slow-speed pass. While the F-16 went behind the cables to run in slow the JF dude simply applied the air breaks, pulled 20+ degrees up and while the air brakes were applied JF pitched up he turned the JF's nose around all while staying right above the parade ground. It was literally floating in the air and even the officials seeing were left flabbergasted. I sure hope he gets permission from high ups to repeat the same on the final day!''

One thing I can say that freedom of maneuvers was visible even in one of the earlier videos of Falcon. I think you shared that in this thread. I agree with your contact in general and can't say more. Moral boosts the confidence and the same will be visible on particular day especially, while friends are participating as well. Hoping for best cameras that it shouldn't be missed.
