As in previous editions, a good quantity of PAF aircraft and
helicopters participated from all branches of the armed
forces. We have assembled the following from various photo-
graphs taken at the rehearsals; normally starting around ten
days in advance. The major dress rehearsal was on the 21st
while the official parade takes place in the morning of the
23rd. After a gap of over an hour, while military vehicles pass
by, the aerial part continues with some solo performances
of fast jets. One of the highlight for the local people was the
participation of three Turkish T129 Atak helicopters.
