Karachi, Jan. 20 (TNS): A graceful ceremony was held here at PAF Museum to pay tribute to Air Commodore (Retd) Sattar Alvi, a renowned war veteran of 1974 Arab-Israel war.
He shot down an Israeli Air Force Mirage aircraft during an aerial combat in Syria. In Saturday ceremony he presented flying coverall (suit) of deceased Israeli pilot (Capt Lutz) to PAF Museum.
Addressing on the occasion, the Air Chief said that our enemies are joining hands together in hatching conspiracies against Pakistan but they will always fail.
This is the ideological state made in the name of Allah and nobody dare to cast an evil eye on it. PAF together with sister services and the nation would thwart their nefarious designs and they would meet the same fate as always, Insha Allah.
“PAF stands ever ready for the aerial defence of motherland on the strength of supreme sacrifices and professionalism of its valiant predecessors who paved the path of glory for this elite organization”.
The Air Chief paid rich tribute to Air Commodore Sattar Alvi (Retd) and said that the heroics of the legendary fighter pilot not only brought laurels to PAF but were also a source of pride for the entire nation. He termed the flying coverall of the deceased Israeli pilot as a ‘War Trophy’ and was of the opinion that it was a valuable addition to the historic archive of PAF Museum.
