A FIFTH Pakistan Air Force F-16 squadron was formed earlier this year at PAF Base Mushaf in Sargodha. As evidenced by the tail markings on F-16A serial 84718, 29 Squadron is an aggressor squadron operated by the co-located Airpower Centre of Excellence (ACE). However, the unit also has a combat role and is believed to have played a major part in Operation Swift Retort, when the PAF responded to an Indian Air Force attack on February 27.
