PAF 1965 BBC Interview

This is a video I found about my father (Air Cmdre (R) S. Sajad Haider) and his brave comrades, some of whom are no longer with us.

**Please watch the video and avoid profanity in comments or they will not be approved. This is for informational purposes only and reflects sentiments around the time of the war.

We are no longer in war-time and should look past the things that create enemies - instead focus on befriending.**

This is a brief clip about the pilot's feelings and senses during the 1965 war. The men who believed in what this land was for fought hard to preserve it.

This clip was aired during an ARY Defence Day show in 2006. It was hosted by Noor-ul-Hasan and Dr.Muzna Ebrahim !

The pilots being interviewed are from No. 19 Sqn commanded by Air Cmdre (R) Sayed Sajad Haider, who was also affectionately known as Nosey Haider.

The description below is credited to a youtube.com user, FightingFalcon16:

The Sqn was credited with destroying almost all the heavy equipment of 15th Infantry Div commanded Maj Gen Naranjan Prasad during his advanced to Lahore in 1965 war. On top of that the Sqn also destroyed close to 14 IAF aircraft on the ground during the renowned Pathankot raid!

Folks, having just going through the comments for approval, I feel I need to respectfully urge you to read the description which contains basic house rules.

Avoid profanity and references to things that are no longer valid. I repeat, we are NOT in war time & should avoid acting so. Threats, taunts and abuse are not appropriate.

And for those of you who post aggressively nationalistic comments (this applies to both sides), please don't or the idea behind posting this video will be missed.

In his autobiography, renowned American pilot Chuck Yeager, the then attaché to Pakistan, wrote, “PAF is second to none… the air war lasted two weeks and the Pakistanis scored a three-to-one kill ratio, knocking out 102 Russian-made Indian jets and losing thirty four airplanes of their own… they were really good aggressive dogfighters and proficient in gunnery and air combat tactics. I was damned impressed. Those guys just lived and breathed flying.”
