excellent batch of photos -

I guess most of them are from OPKC. Not sure about the last ones though.

Photos of Red Arrows taken at Karachi Airport. I guess it was refuelling stop for Royal Air Force's aerobatic team.

All very nice & interesting photos! Especially photos of AP-BAK and Pakistan Army's olive green Mil Mi-17 helicopter. I hadn't seen any Pakistani Mi-17 in this colour scheme before.

Thank you for sharing.

Nice pictures, but there is a small corection. the two helicopters in the first pic are not PAk Army Bell 212 (UH-1). These are Ministry of Interior Bell UH-2H (hueuy two). These are operated and maintained by army crews but are flown for MOI for Anti-narcotics missions. Bell 212 for your information are twin engine and have a slightly different nose profile.
Good pics anyway, seeng helicopters on HOP gives a kick

Then compare the helicopter profile.
