PAF Fighter Jets (Sep 5, 2006)

Pakistan Air Force Day is celebrated every year on 6th of September, which marks the official beginning of the 1965 Indo-Pak war. Air shows and other programs are arranged by Pakistan Air Force on this day to mark the success of PAF in defending the nation. Today (5th September) some fighter jets of Pakistan Air Force arrived at Lahore for tomorrow's air show. I was able to capture some of these using my limited gear of a fixed lens 420mm Panasonic FZ-15.

Not any more :) For the last few years, now they have 6th September as the commemorative day for all forces now, rather than having 6th for Army and 7th for Air Force.
