Pakistan air force probably inducted hawker as a stop gap untill the G4 arrived.
jitne bhi VIP transport aircrafts hain woh sab air force operates karti hai, aur sare PAF base chaklala pe station hain.
to navy ne yeh jahaz khareede take woh PN chief ko ya phir aur koi high ranking official ko easily transport kar saken. without relying on air force to send a jet all the way from chaklala to karachi.

the PN a/c is dual-purpose, EW and VIP. further 3 are reportedly to be inducted.

many a/c platforms were 'loaned' for testing purposes. in the early 70's, 2 chinese IL-28's were loaned, designated B-58 in PK but were rejected. an Mi-26 heavy lift helo was also evaluated but it unfortunately crashed in the himalayas. PT-6's were also evaluated but PAF opted for the Saab Supporter (Mushshak).

ELINT not EW - my bad!

Can you please provide details on the bold part, in the Army Aviation thread perhaps?

A little correction there on the typo by Fatman.
The Chinese Il-28 which was the Harbin H-5 was designated the B-56 in PAF service.
A sole Mi-6 was sent to the PAF during Bhutto's re-engagement policy with the USSR after the 65 war..
It crashed while testing under the hot and humid conditions of the Himalayas range.

The photo with Chinese trainer is of BAF not PAF, you dont have such palm trees at Risalpur.

do Paf pilots carry some sort of fire arms with them into the cockpit?...is it some handgun or a small mini machine gun like uzi,mp5 or a sawed off shot gun?

also do the pilots receive training in survival..if they have to eject in enemy territory?...is it close to SSG commando training?

Yes they do have atleast a pistol or mp5 smg .... Survival guides are given too plus a satellite phone to call for rescue but I dont know if PAF has satellite phones for pilots.

Yes. All PAF and AAC pilots carry Beretta/Glock with them. On some missions, the pilots carry SMGs like MP-5, FN-F2000 or FN-P90 in case they have to eject over enemy territory.

And all officers go through survival training, although it's not SSG-training. They also go through ejection-training.
