A Shenyang FT-6 (airframe 10904) that served both Pakistan and Bangladesh.

As part of normalising the bilateral relationship, Pakistan gifted 40 Shenyang F-6/FT-6 to the Bangladesh Air Force.

This particular airframe was one of those. After its service up to 2013, it retired like other surviving F-6/FT-6s from the fleet of the BAF.

A point to be noted here is Bangladesh lost several F-6/FT-6s in the 1991 cyclone.

If I'm not wrong these birds were previously operated by PAF

Yes, ex-PAF. Many of these were destroyed in 1988 flood and 1991 cyclone.

Am confused. I thought we called this aircraft the "A5".
