great comment..i can see what you mean. He even says at low speeds its was handful

@@couchfighter Indeed - the whole interview was very informative. I have always thought that the MiG-19 was a very interesting airplane and it certainly seems that the PAF really knew how to make it perform.

Its not that they got so much out of the MiG-19 because it was so good, but rather because the chinese had no choice. At that time they began copying the POS MiG-19 they were cut off from further support by the Soviets. They used it as the basis for the A-5/Q-5 attack jet as well...

@@CH-pv2rz Wrong. China got license and full documents from Soviet in 1961 and the first production J-7 rolled out on Jan 17 1966

Glad you enjoyed it.

That sounded so crazy to me, unfamiliar with mig 15, check climb rate, 35k/min. Woa. That is impressive even 60 years later

did you knew Middlecoat or Cecil Chaudhri?

So glad you enjoyed it.

Humble my arse. What planet are you on?

Thanks Daniel!

It certainly was an uplifting story.

definitely agree. pretty much in keeping w/his attitude about handling challenges in his flying career - keep charging!

Cheers Ben!

They flew to many US aircraft to not be able to communicate in English. They are highly srupid today to rely on the chinese and the junk they pawn off on the PAF.

Thanks Matt.

Take a long hard look at yourselves. Aspies.

Great to hear you enjoyed it.

Wow you have seen a lot of great planes!! IL-78 too? That’s awesome

Thank you.

Always interesting to hear the stories of a man who revels in killing other people. What has the world become.

@markb8489 You're definitely someone and the reasons may be varied, but it's going to be impossible to explain what it's like serving your country branch or job doesn't matter, or what it's like being in war, the difference between killing in a war, a civilian that has to kill in self defense. The experience of the person in combat vs the civilian which practically none at any point in thier day say to themselves "Okay something so off the wall might happen and I'll have to fight for my life. I say this now in the hopes I don't freeze up in surprise and die." Both of their experiences can be worlds apart BUT compared to the individual that's aroused at the thought of killing someone, anyone doesn't matter. The serial killers, serial killer, wannabes, whatever I guess just murderer in general, almost see themselves as something else a predator and everything else prey whose only use is satisfying an unnatural appetite. Well, compared to

Thats what separates the men from the boys !!!

Thanks Peter.

Glad you enjoyed it :)

@@Aircrewinterview I hope you're going to make a third part with him about Mirage III

@@_RAF_SkyRider_ it could potentially be in the works for the future, but we will be hosting a live Q&A with Tahir next week (more details to follow) so you can ask him questions.

Great to hear you enjoyed the interview.

Thanks!

I agree.

Indeed - back in the early 1970's Air International correspondant Pushpindar S. Chopra did a good job of covering the Indo-Pakistani conflicts of those days, but he was obviously on one (the Indian) side - and so it is good to now hear from the other side. At this distance of 45 years or so, it is good to hear.
