Photo Album (Part
III) 1972-2000
Vigile in the sky- Two F-16s with
8 sidewinder air to air missiles between them, in addition to
their cannons, present quite a proposition to the intruding agressors
Coast Gaurd - This Mirage III keeps
the sea coast clear of enemy ships. That huge 'thing' on the central
pod is also known as AM-39 Exocet - it has a habit of eating enemy
ships for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The smaller rockets are
AIM-9L sidewinder air to air missiles, which means it is quite
capable to defend itself while ship hunting. Pakistan has now
the largest fleet of Mirages in the world.
Venomous Victors -These cobras
from the no 15 squadron are not the kind of poison one should
mess around with
Grey Matter - These sidewinder
armed A-7 Airgaurds with Pakistani pilots in the cockpit are a
lethal cocktail indeed for any adversary
Birds of a feather - These chinese thoroughbreds have
served PAF well, from the A-5 fantan ground attack in the foreground
to the latest F-7 airgaurd in the back ground with the old warior
F-6 in the middle
Fantastic Fantans - These A-5
are practicing to add some heat to another hotspot on the ground
K-8 Korakorum - next generation
trainer for Pakistani pilots - we can call it 'Mianwali Walah'
F-16 Fighting Falcon - socking
the Sargodha Sun in front of its hardened air shelter
This Fantan flight is being prepared for some firworks.
The stuff in the foreground is Matra Durandal anti runway missiles,
cluster bombs and air to air missiles while the ground crew are
feeding in the cannon amo into its chamber.
Herculean effort - C-130 Hercules
return from another flight through the 'roof of the world'
Chaklala - Home of the Hercules
Mushaak- Home made basic trainer
