Assuming that you know how to assess the situation on the spot;yasirbhojani wrote:I want to spot some birds of the Pakistan Air Force and take a couple of photographs like F-7P, Mirage 3/5 and F-16A/B Falcons....
The airbases that I am planning to visit are :-
1- Masroor Airbase, Karachi, Pakistan ( home of F-7P's and Mirage 3's )

So, anyone could help me ?? Where would be the perfect location to spot these birds on take-off or on short-finals ??
Please help me out guys.
All clear. Looking forward to your logs and pics (also from your recent visit to Mehran)!yasirbhojani wrote:That, you can leave to me. I recently spotted some P-3 Orions and Atlantiques on Paf Base Faisal and filmed them too. Actually, they were parked on the ramp but I filmed them very cleverly without being noticed. I plan to do the same when I visit these airbases. And besides, I am not the only one to spot and film or photograph aircrafts without being noticed, you know. We are military enthusiast but due to security reasons in Pakistan, we don't get much chances of actually spotting even a parked aircraft and spotting an F-16 is like a dream to us. So, most people do these kind of stuffs like photographing without being noticed etc. So, any help now ?
OK no problem! Good luck and indeed looking forward to your sightings.yasirbhojani wrote:That, you can leave to me.

I get the feeling that yasirbhojani is operating from within Pakistan. So 'such' country is probably 'his' country and I will leave it up to him to do whatever he is comfortable with.Wildpicture wrote:I would suggest contacting the Pakistani Air force and asking for cooperation. Offer them a complete set of pictures to be used by them for magazines/advertising.
In such countries it is often better to work "out in the open" instead of trying to photograph "without being noticed". Doing the last will make you very suspicious. The last thing you would want is to be arrested and "interrogated" by Pakistani officials. It may prove to be very bad for your health.......
I do not have any info on Sargodha. Judging by the images on Google Maps/Earth only runway 14/32 is being used. The appraoch of runway 32 shows a urbanised area (although you might be facing the sun there). The alternative being the open area to the west of that. The same goes for runway 14.yasirbhojani wrote:K. But don't anyone of you have any idea about Mushaf, Sargodha ?? I've got to spot some F-16's because spottting F-16 is like a dream to me..So, please, anyone ??
