Sqn Ldr Abdul Hameed Qadri


Sqn Ldr Abdul Hameed Qadri

  On 17 May, 1986, on a routine western CAP near Afghan border, Sqn Ldr Hameed Qadri intercepted four SU-22 aircraft. When his missiles failed to launch, he closed in with the enemy aircraft and shot down two SU-22s with his guns.


He rose to the rank of Air Cdre and laid down his life in an air crash on the last day of his command as Base Commander Minhas.
