Author: By Our Special Correspondent

ISLAMABAD: Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Sohail Aman has said that the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) is passing through a revamping stage because the technology of air warfare is changing rapidly.

“We have no choice but to match the speed of change and make the PAF a potent force, second to none. To meet these challenges, we are inducting sate-of-the-art weapons and must train hard to acquaint ourselves with these modern systems, said the air chief while addressing the passing-out parade of aero apprentices held here at the PAF Base, Korangi Creek.

Sohail Aman added, “I would urge you to fully devote your time and energy to your profession and work with resolute commitment to attain mastery in your respective trades. Remember! There is no room for complacency or short cut in a challenging profession like yours.”

A total of 823 aero apprentices, including personnel from Jordan and Pakistan Navy, successfully completed their technical training. The air chief awarded trophies among distinction holders.

Asghar Khan Trophy for the best in aero space technology was awarded to Aircraftman Ali Raza, Nur Khan Trophy in avionics technology to Aircraftman Sheharyar Khan, Zafar Choudhry Trophy in aero support technology (School of Aeronautics) to Aircraftman Muhammad Ilyas, Rahim Khan Trophy in aero support technology (School of Electronics) to Aircraftman Muhammad Jawad, Base Commander Trophy in general service training to Aircraftman Wing Sergeant Fahad Wali and the Chief of the Air Staff Trophy for the overall best performance was awarded to Aircraftman Sheharyar Khan.

Qusai Tayseer Saad Eddin Shannak from Jordan was awarded a trophy for the best foreign trainee.
