		According to Pakistani sources, nine IAF MiG-21s were shot down on the Western front, with two of them being shot down by PAF fighters, one by an Chinese-built F-6 and another by a F-86 Sabre.
		The PAF has admitted that the maneuverability of the F-104 was poor during close-in combat and that the F-6 and F-86 were far better in a dogfight.
		This wouldn't have been a problem if training programs in NATO air forces had been ready, but the trouble was that by the time instructors had learned about the sting in the F-104's tail, many of their students were dead.

		Pakistan's Air Force has an advantage common to all highly populous but low income nations: Their are few job openings for "fighter pilot" and a great many people who would want the job.
		In the United States, Fighter Pilot is an extremely prestigious career, but the US Navy and Air Force have to compete for their pilots against a great many other employers who also want the mentally and physcially fit, ambitious young men who would be pilots.
		This means that the real quality difference we should expect in the Pakistani air force has nothing to do with the recruited pilot ability, or the quality of the flight training- it is the amount of air time the pilots get.
