This is not a competition, All the participants get some sort of appreciation certificate, The way the Paki media is spreading the news as they won some sort of a world best fighter jet and best pilots . They went all the way to RIAT with people’s expenses while they are dying with hunger on streets .

An Indian talking about dying with hunger? That's funny considering they are in the same bracket as pakistan on the world hunger index while wasting money in stupid shit
K-Dawg6999@reddit
No they dont. Only a handful of participants get awards.
ThinkTankMS@reddit
lol I work in a similar place , don’t teach me
K-Dawg6999@reddit
Sure
egvp@reddit
Is it? And that’s why only one participant per year is awarded it? Please provide your evidence.

Is it true cuz I've seen this news on different sources, but I come here on reddit cuz Most Reddit posts are true compared to other sources. If it's true then I really appreciate PAF for winning this award, makes us so happy

PAF kept cranking out awesome special liveries for the JF-17. Can't wait to see them do the same to the J-10CE and F-16 lol

Sadly they will be in service of some terrorist in Pakistan

F-16 would be a treat to watch but me thinks they're not allowed to take them outside of Pakistan. J-10Cs on the other hand will be a delight to watch

Flying from Pakistan to the UK non-stop in a cramped fighter jet cockpit. At ferry speed.
