ATTOCK: The Pakistan Air Force would participate in Dubai Air Show 2013 starting on Sunday, said a press release issued by the PAF’s public relations directorate on Saturday.

It said three JF-17 Thunder and Super Mushshak aircraft along with the PAF’s contingent comprising pilots and technicians would take part in the show.

The JF-17 Thunder aircraft, jointly co-developed by PAF and China Aero-Technology Import Export Corporation (Catic) and co-produced by Pakistan Aeronautical Complex Kamra and Catic, has been put up for static as well as aerial display.

This year the Dubai Air Show is being held at Dubai World Central Airport instead of Dubai International Airport. More than 200 companies from all over the world will be displaying their aviation products and aircraft. —Correspondent
