As if business jets are really a necesity for elected members.

Country has power shotage, no water to drink for people, but yes Govt is buying lear jets, gulfstream, BBJ , F-16 etc

even after the earthquake, military projects are priority over social issues.

And we keep electing these crooked, jahil MNA and MPA's like Benazir, Nawaz, Musharaf and Maulana Falah Tamkana again and again.

With not paying attention to politics, our poor person is going to suffer and suffer more and rich will keep getting richer and richer.

I believe that's the aircraft used by the Chief of Staff? My Uncle has flown that for some years now

Theoratically yes, this citation V was originally meant to be used by COAS. After 12 Oct 99, as the things are now, it is also in the exclusive use of The President, Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

Before acquiring the Gulfstream, PAF had purchased a Citation Excel, which was being used by the the PM and chief of the airstaff as well.

For international visits, plan to acquire a 310 didnt materialise, yet there are rumours that they are getting a Boeing BBJ!

Presently Punjab and Baluchistan Govts have a jet each, Hawker 400 (2005) Learjet 35A (1993). Sind would be getting their Lear 45 soon, at present they have a conquest 441 (twin turboprop) . I dont know what happened with the old conquest 441 of Punjab Govt. Besides they (punjab) destroyed a Beachjet 400 (Watoo fame) in a hangar collapse.

GREAT PEOPLE TO FLY WITH (TAXPAYER MONEY)

PakinUS
Hope the day is not far enough when they will have one each

I really like the TAILWIND's caption in the end of his/her post, would like to repeat that
"GREAT PEOPLE TO FLY WITH..... (TAXPAYER MONEY)"

Rightly so
