Tell us what you think:
We have never heard about the findings of board of enquiry .let me tell you that the crash of a c130 on the Air field of chaklala Air field while landing is
Some thing serious.the nation has the right to know reasons.this is nations
money .
The frequency of aircraft accident indicates something fishy. Air force needs to answer the nation about the reason for these accidents.
the pilots are sons of a nation also the money is from our taxes that are used for the weapoary and other pieces of equipment. We have the right to know about these.
Aircraft crash investigation is a lengthy process. Secondly Air Force aircrafs do not carry black boxes. These are machine having thousands of parts.
Yes some pilots are loose their life, which is sad. We need not to know the results of investigation. Pls ma’am ask for the enquiry reports of Air Blue and Bhioja Air crashes in which more than 400 people died.
Please note PAF safty record is among the best in the world.
Please don’t try to start blaming our armed forces. First get your facts right
