AM Nur Khan flew his first F-6 sortie and after landing said, “ all fine except slightly sluggish controls” just to learn that he flew without turning BU-13 and BU-14 On. That means he flew entire sortie with manual ailerons and elevator ot electric tail … hats of to him, he was the only Chief who flew all types of planes in PAF as long as they had wings he flew it.
