The Dragon Fly “Mitty Masud”

(This historic photo is from the collection of historian Nasim Yousaf. Mr. Yousaf received this photo from a former Air Chief Marshal of the Pakistan Air Force. In this picture, legendary fighter pilot Wing Commander (later Air Commodore) M. Zafar Masud is standing in front of his Sabre jet with helmet (at the bottom of the photo). The pilots shown are lined up on Feb 02, 1958, prior to flying the sixteen Sabres loop formation, which set a world record.)

Sher Afghan Trophy was instituted by Air Marshal Asghar Khan in the 60's and was given to the squadrons and individuals who had the high armament score during the yearly armament competition.
