No i think those are safety nets to stop birds flying into the flight path..... perimeter fence is much further away.

I hope the PAF has gotten its act together after multiple disasters and seriously worked on safeguarding its assets. Ideally, there should be some kind of a no-build zone around all sensitive installations specially the airports to avoid rocket attacks and birds which feed on the garbage around the area.

ISLAMABAD: At least three Pakistan Air Force (PAF) JF-17 Thunder fighter aircrafts along with a contingent, comprising pilots and technicians, departed for Paris today, to participate in the upcoming Paris Air Show 2015.

PAF spokesperson Air Commodore S M Ali said, "The 51st Air Show organised by French Aerospace Industries Association will start on 15 June, 2015 at the Le Bourget Parc des Expositions and would continue till 21 June, 2015."

The spokesperson also said one JF-17 fighter aircraft will perform in the flying display and another will be on static display throughout the Air Show.

The JF-17 Thunder has already participated in various air shows around the world including Farnborough Air Show (UK), Zhuhai Air Show (China), Turkish Air Show (Turkey) and Dubai Air Show (UAE).

The aircraft is also poised to become the mainstay of PAF, as the PAF plans to replace its ageing fleet of fighter aircraft with JF-17s.

The JF-17 Thunder has been jointly co-developed by Pakistan and China — is a light weight, all weather multi-role fighter jet. It is equipped with a modern state-of-the-art avionics suite and an advanced cockpit layout.

The fighter jet has the capability to carry out air-to-air and air-to-ground strikes, and can be fitted with beyond-visual-range (BVR) missiles.

So the green painted JF is not going on Paris trip? So it seems.

I don't believe the Green-1 participated in any overseas show, it's first JF-17 to be produced in Pakistan and more reserved for displays rather than marketing purpose.

 

[Gabriel92]

You will be there at show? Bring us a few pictures, will you?

Normally,yes i will.
I'm not so far from Le Bourget right now and just waiting for the show.

Long range fuel tanks, hi budd do have the Nav route?

No idea sport, most probably same when they visited UK a few years back.

I am not sure if pakistan people know this: the chief designer of JF-17 later become the chief designer of j20, who is widely viewed as a genius and national treasure of china.

for one thing, JF-17 should be an excellent platform considering its designer, on another hand, it will definately receive high prioirity in upgrading for the same reason.

 

[airmarshal]

Yes please! Pictures we need them. Our representative @Gabriel92 should be there.

 

[ACE OF THE AIR]

No idea sport, most probably same when they visited UK a few years back.

It would be via Turkey or a Northern one?

Why do we not send Sherdils to International Airshows?

Preparations for indian LCA to participate in Paris are underway also
