PAF Team are very busy because the two JF-17 Thunder combat aircraft of PAF, manufactured at Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC) Kamra, flew into United Kingdom from a PAF Base, to participate in the Farnborough Air Show 2010, scheduled last 19-25 July 2010.  The JF-17s have displayed for the first time in the Farnborough Air Show alongside other modern aircraft of the world.

The JF-17 Thunder distinguishes PAF as the only Air Force in the world that manufactures combat aircraft. It is an all-weather, multi-role, combat aircraft that has the potential to be the mainstay of any modern Air Force. PAF takes pride in co-developing and co-manufacturing the JF-17 in collaboration with China.
