"Time for the Turkey Shoot"

The painting depicts S/L M M Alam taking off in his famous F-86F-35-NA on 7th September 1965 with F/O Masud as wing man, just after the Mysteres from IAF 1 Sqn delivered surprise but unsuccessful attack at Sargodha Airbase. There are still marks of Ack ack in the sky and seen in the background are F-86s parked opened unscratched.

Minutes later S/L M M Alam shot down at least three IAF attacking hunters and damaged two others in 30 seconds and became one of the most successful pilot with multiple kills in shortest possible time.
