As part of efforts to enhance their military-to-military cooperation, Pakistani and US air force personnel participated in a joint aerial refueling information exchange programme at a Pakistani airbase.

US Air Force pilots and aircrew from the 22nd Expeditionary Air Refueling Squadron, currently deployed in Kyrgyzstan, arrived at the Chaklala airbase on Wednesday to conduct the information exchange with the Pakistan Air Force.

The US invited Pakistani pilots and aircrew aboard their KC-135 Stratotanker aircraft to familiarise them with air refuelling equipment and procedures.

Vice Admiral Michael LeFever, senior US Defence Representative to Pakistan, hosted Air Commodore Tahir Ranjha, PAF's Air Transportation Director and Air Commodore Khalil Ahmed, PAF Chaklala commander, aboard the KC-135 aircraft.

I’m going to make a prediction. This relationship with Pakistan will come back to bite us in the a55 some day.

and the fact that we are now even more inextricably entangled in the Pakistan/India conflict. I often refer to George Washington’s farewell address and he gave us very sage advice regarding entangling ourselves in the affairs of other nations and of appearing to play favorites with nations. He said don’t do either of those things incidentally. I for one wouldn’t presume to know better than George Washington in matters of governing so I just defer to his wisdom and good intentions.

“Exchange” is an interesting choice of verb. It sounds like the information flow was in one direction.

“Exchange” is an interesting choice of verb.

Yeah, about all the information we could get from them is 1000 ways to eff up a refueling.
