  9. “Truly we belong to ALLAH (SWT) and truly to Him shall we return”.

    He was junior to me during school days and I remember very well that he was such a brilliant young man. May ALLAH (SWT) bestow enough courage to his parents so that they could face such a hard time.

    This is not the first incident where a young pilot has embraced shahadat during training in mushak aircraft. Maybe I’m unaware of many underlying facts but I remember that this aircraft “mushak” has been serving our forces since we were kids. Therefore based on apparent facts, I think it it is time for Army Aviation’s responsible senior officers to think about replacing this aircraft with a secure and new trainer aircraft(s).
