Despite the lack of funds and market-places, Pakistan Air Force entered the jet age in August 1951 with the arrival of three first-generation jet fighters - British built Attackers. They formed thenucleus of the new Number 11 Squadron. Pakistan began to court the Americans, who agreed in principle to supply F-94Cs, F-86 Sabres and F-84s, the USAF's standard fighter-bomber. Finally,PAF opted for the Sabres, and also looked at the USAF's B-50 and the USN's Neptune as a bomber, but first it wanted T-33 jet trainers - the first batch of which arrived in 1955.Air force training was modeled after that of the British Royal Air Force until 1956, when many officers and airmen began to attend courses in the United States. Training installations in Pakistan provide courses for pilots and navigators, and technical trade schools are available for both officers and airmen.At the moment Pakistan Air Force has 620 AirCrafts including fighter ,trainer , logistics and light aircrafts. PAF also has eight helicopters.
