ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Pakistan Air Force day is being celebrated across Pakistan on Friday (today). Pakistan Air Force will pay homage to the martyrs of PAF in defending the country during the Indo-Pak War in 1965. A notable event of the war was that Pakistan Air Force flying ace Muhammad Mahmood Alam shot down five planes of Indian Air Force in less than a minute. The floral wreath laid on the grave of Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas Shaheed (Nishan-e-Haider) and the contingent paid homage to the young pilot who had sacrificed his life in the defence of motherland, showing exemplary courage and determination. However, Pakistan Air Force martyrs are the heroes of the nation and the martyrdom of Rashid Minhas is a matter of pride for Pakistan.
