According to the news reports, General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani flew a Pakistan Airforce F-16 figther bomber to fly the first mission of Operation Rah e Rast by bombing the bases of foreign funded terrorists operating in tribal aras of Pakistan. The army chief was accompanied by air chief who was the first pilot of the plane. ( some news sources claim that a wing commander accompanied the army chief while air chief flew a separate F-16 on the same mission)
The F-16 flew for an approximate 45 minutes and later on returned to base safely. Even though the step has no major military implication but it will surely be a big boost to the morale of the soldiers who all saw their air chief and army chief flying the first few sorties on the terrorists hideouts. The soldiers will truly feel that their whole high command is fighting along with them should to shoulder and will not let the terrorists destroy the peace of our nation.
