I read that the first two JF-17 Thunders arrived in Pakistan in a disassembled state on 02 March 2007.
When you say people saw them earlier, I am assuming you mean prior to 02 March 2007. Should I take that to mean they had already been delivered to Pakistan, or that they were flying/testing in Pakistan before returning to China to be formally delivered later?
I am very curious now.
The following is the current established timeline.
| Date | Event |
|---|
| 02 March 2007 | The first two JF-17 Thunders arrived at Kamra, Pakistan, in disassembled form. |
| 10 March 2007 | The two aircraft conducted their first flights in Pakistan. |
| 12 March 2007 | The arrival ceremony at PAC Kamra was publicly reported. The aircraft were to undergo further PAF flight testing and evaluation. |
| 23 March 2007 | The two JF-17s made their public debut during the Pakistan Day parade in Islamabad. |
