A Chinese-built Pak Air Force FT-7 fighter jet crashed in central Pakistan on Friday during a training run but the pilots ejected safely, officials said. "The jet came down near Mianwali town in central Punjab province during a routine operational training mission," an air force spokesman said. He said both pilots ejected safely and that an inquiry had been ordered to investigate the cause of the crash. Pakistan's air force has a fleet of Chinese aircraft, including F-7P,F-7PGs and A-5s, US-built F-16s and French Mirages.

What is the average age of fighters in PAF? And what is the JF-17, J-10 induction schedule? I guess the seconded Mirages must be very old now.
Improved J-10/Fc-20 will enter in service with PAF by 2014/15 and first squarden of JF-17 will be formed before the end of this year, with a total of 250 to be acquaired atleast to replace F-7s, Mirage-III/V and A-5C IIIs.
