Shenyang F-6 (Farmer) of the Pakistan Air Force, the Chinese-built export version of the Soviet MiG-19.

Pakistan began receiving the F-6 in 1965, and it became one of the PAF's most important fighter aircraft during the late 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s.

The type served in both air-defense and ground-attack roles and remained in frontline service until 2002.

The aircraft carry the classic dark-grey camouflage and the green-and-white roundels of the Pakistan Air Force.

The Shenyang F-6 remains a respected aircraft among aviation historians and PAF enthusiasts because it represented a major phase in Pakistan’s transition toward a larger supersonic fighter force.
