[edit] What?, NO pictures?

come on man put up some PAF pictures up....it looks boring without it....people need to see an example. the INDIAN AIR FORCE page has plenty of pictures. put some up please

[edit] References, please

Instead of ranting about the incident you can help everyone by giving references to third party/neutral sites/literature where these 'fairy tales' have been discussed. I have personally seen Indians hotly disputing this incident but have not found one single neutral reference which disputes it. But I do accept that the IAF kicked PAFs asses in the 1971 war. No doubt about it. All the neutral sources indicates so as well.chem1 13:38, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Where do you people learn to talk like that ?? I don't need references, the Pakistanis who claim a MM Alam guy saved them during the war do.

Go get a western source to substantiate the claim, get the pics of the debris MM Alam's "ace" kills, in case you did'nt know he said he shot a few planes and radio pakistan was running his "great military achievements" before he even did land, the verification never happened.

The Pakistan govt never speaks of either any of this outside of their country, neither have they officially tried for an "ace" status for that MM Alam guy.

Get the facts and come talk to me, before then the MM Alam guy is just a fabrication of a Pakistani force which lay devastated in a war and needed an urban legend to save their face. Freedom skies 13:26, 8 July 2006 (UTC) The fact that the Indians here talking about M.M Alam in such a way shows me he has struck fear in their hearts.24.90.163.84 03:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Once more, references please

There is no use shouting at the top of your voice. If you have something to say, please substantiate it with proper references. Otherwise, kindly do not waste everyone's (and especially your own) time. Cheers! chem1 15:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] dubious claims on an independent source

I had to tag the following line "Independent observers credit PAF with a three to one kill ratio." as dubious cause I couldn't find any "independent observers" with source saying a 3:1 kill ratio. --Idleguy 09:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dead link

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

[edit] Pakistan Airforce day

Isn't Pakistan Air Force day is being held on 7th of September. While 6th of Sep is for army. §Sulaimandaud 10:46, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How many C-130s?

How many C-130s does the PAF currently operate? The chart shows 30, but the logistics section says that after the PAF acquires 6 new C-130s, the number in service will rise to 12. Somehow I doubt the number currently serving is that low. Someone please fix the figure in the logistics section, thanks. Zaindy87 20:18, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

You'd better ask Pakistani wikipedians about your matter.--NAHID 18:10, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The way things are

I like the PAF. The only AF in any muslim or muslim-dominated country that can -and had fight- , but thee way things are I have great doubts about its ability for further aircraft procurement, training & maintenance. I'm talking about economy here. Is Pakistani economy strong enough to finance its excellent AF? 1. How much money does AF spends on procurement, training & maintenance of its airfleet? 2. Is it enough? 3. How many hours the pilots have in training per month? 4. Does PAF pay the pilots well? (Pakistani standard of course) 5. What about the pay for everybody else in PAF? Thanks!

[edit] A few corrections...

The missile system being acquired is the SPADA not SPYDER. The SPYDER SAM is Israeli and is also being acquired by the Indians. The MISTRAL is a navy system and is not a airforce asset.Keysersoze25 02:56, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
