Pakistan Air Force day is being celebrated across the country on Saturday (today) to 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.

A day earlier, the nation observed Defence and Martyrs Day to pay tributes to the martyrs and ghazis and reaffirm commitment to defend the motherland against all threats.
