Guys, did anyone watch him? Syed Talat Husain, the leading current affairs compere currently associated with ARY prepared a special Defense Day documentary for his weekly program 'Aamna Saamna' aired on 6th Sep. It was about the history, legacy and current preparedness of the PAF and was shot at the PAF base Sargodha (Mushaf). He interviewed the officers, showed us old video footage from 1965, analysis of famous air battles like that of M.M Alam and Rafiqui and then they show him sitting in the office of the Base Commander Air Commodore Faaiz Amir signing a document that said that he was boarding an F16 at his own free will and risk and that in case of any mishap no one would be responsible at all. He signed the document with a number of officers standing around him and then he had a slight medical check up to see if he is fit enough to handle the strain of an F-16 ride, and then he got into the Gsuit, wore the helmet, and the Base Commander took him to the F-16 himself, it was the 2 seater version of course and he took a camera with him, he was told not to touch anything and that in case anything went wrong seriously he would just have to pull the ejection lever.
The base commander took the aircraft out to taxi and then took off! for the first time in Pakistan's history a civilian flew in a fighter aircraft, that too an F16! The Air Commodore even did a few loops and rolls and Talat Husain appeared breathless and said he had lost all sense of direction, on landing he appeared stunned and strained, while the base commander who was defnitely older than Talat and perhaps in his 50s was out of the plane before talat and looked perfectly fresh and alert. Talat said this work not only required excellent physical strength and health but equally excellent mental strength and health. indeed fighter pilots are a breed apart and our PAF fighters are definite legends. It was a great idea by Talat Husain, was enjoyed by the viewrs alot and a great step towards more interaction among the forces and civilians.
Hats off to Talat Husain!
