The Pakistan Air Force (PAF) clinched two prestigious accolades at the Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) 2025, one of the world’s largest and most esteemed military airshows, held from July 18 to 20.
The historic C-130A transport aircraft received the Conqueror’s Delegates Trophy, recognized for its remarkable design and heritage-rich display. Meanwhile, the advanced JF-17 Thunder Block III fighter jet was honored with the Spirit of the Meet Trophy for its exceptional in-flight performance, including a mid-air refueling demonstration, underscoring Pakistan’s growing aerial prowess.
Both aircraft captivated international audiences—especially in the wake of PAF’s recent aerial encounter with India—earning praise for their capability and presence on the global stage.
