Air Marshal Nur Khan checks one of the first F-6 (MiG-19) delivered to Pakistan. The type served PAF for thirty-five years and was finally retired in 2002, when the last F-6 squadron (No. 23 ‘Talons’) re-equipped with new F-7PG aircraft.

The type logged more than 400,000 sorties (approx 300,000 hrs) in 37 years. In total 260 F-6s were procured.
