PAF Gifts Retired F-7 Fighter to Gujranwala City

Post by Abbas Ali »

Message in today's (June 4) newspaper in which Gujranwala Development Authority and City District Government, Gujranwala, have thanked Pakistan Air Force (PAF) for gifting a retired F-7 Skybolt fighter interceptor to the city.

The aircraft will be put on display at Fazaia Park on the opposite side of Trust Plaza on Grand Trunk (GT) Road, Gujranwala.

Although the picture in that message shows an F-7PG Skybolt the actual gifted aircraft might be an F-7P Skybolt.

Probably the F-7 will act as Fazaia Park gate guard.

Another message of thanks in today's (June 7) newspaper but no photo of the actual aircraft.

Apparently the artist's impression in this message shows the F-7 as gate guard of Fazaia Housing Scheme in Gujranwala.

The disassembled aircraft has arrived in Gujranwala for reassembly and display in the city. It will be displayed at Model Town Crossing on Grand Trunk (GT) Road.

It's Chengdu F-7P Skybolt apparently serial number '89-521' with Pakistan Air Force (PAF) No. 18 "War Hawks" Squadron emblem on vertical stabilizer.

Photo in today's (July 8) 'DAWN' newspaper.
