ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Air Force (PAF) fighter jets delivered a spectacular aerial display during the Pakistan Day parade held at Aiwan-e-Sadr on Sunday.
President Asif Ali Zardari, the services chiefs, and Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, Chief of the Air Staff, were among those in attendance.
According to a PAF spokesperson, the flypast was a tribute to the historic Lahore Resolution of 23 March 1940, as combat aircraft roared through the skies, demonstrating precision, professionalism, and air superiority.
The display began with an awe-inspiring performance by the PAF’s Sherdils aerobatic team. They executed flawless aerial manoeuvres and formation flying, showcasing the exceptional skill and rigorous training of the aircrew.
A fleet of PAF jets, including JF-17 Thunders, F-16 Fighting Falcons, Mirage aircraft, and the advanced J-10C, performed synchronized flight patterns, high-speed passes, and precision formations.
