Once pilots select by the headquarters they experience three courses like the 4 to 5 months combat commander’s course, 3 months weapons course and 4 to 5 weeks fighter integration course. The successful graduates can attain the rank of “wing commander” and “command a squadron”.

Foreign chiefs of air staff visiting the base have been most impressed and surprise at the freedom chosen to the student DACT (Dissimilar Air Combat Training). CCS has two squadrons under its command.

1. The “Skybolts” currently flying the “Dassault Mirage 111/5”.
2. The “Dashings” currently flying the: Chengdu F.7P”.

CCS staff annually visit the all PAF fighter squadrons for enhance and evaluate the combat capabilities.

The gorgeous and legendary F 16 of Pakistan Airforce while taking off.

Why is it take off ? because the landing gears (tires) of the plane are out.

Now it’s also arguable that it may be landing because the landing gears are also open when the F16 is landing too.

This F16 has the id number 84709 and GRIFFINS written on it along with the flag of Pakistan.
