Solo Turk to buzz Islamabad

Weather is being a butt right now. Surveillance plane roaming around. Darker patchy cloud in between the park

There is still commercial flight activity.
And also this pankhay walay jahaz is being a pain.

i believe they load up their f-16 in the cargo plane and carry it around. before the picture i thought they will fly f-16 all the way to risalpur :P
Last time (March 2015) they had official schedule for performing on Pakistan Day parade but thanks to our "Brother Country" which didn't allow their air space to SoloTurk for travel to Pakistan. So It might be the best solution to ferry that in a cargo plane.

They are not going to disassemble and then reassemble a jet before every performance. Not to mention that every time they did that, they would also have to go through rigorous flight-testing to first confirm and gauge the aircraft's air-worthiness/characteristics. That F-16 flies everywhere it goes. We fly ours all the way to the US (with pit-stops), this is nothing.

Those engines most probably belong to their KC-135 refueller which would have refuelled the F-16 on its long journey to Pakistan and might have also carried some support staff.

could you confirm if its a hercules.

It's not. Hercs have turboprop engines.

My bad, C-130 wasn't surveiling. It was transporting SSG skydivers.

The 2x new AW-139 are owned by PAF. They're equipped for SAR with search lights etc. One of them still circling around the park and adjacent areas.
