The Pakistan Air Force is participating in Royal International Air Tattoo (RIAT) show with its C130 Hercules painted with the mural depicting Operation Zarb-i-Azb.

The RIAT show, one of the UK's premier events and the world's largest military air show, is being held from July 8-10 RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire.

During the air show, the Pakistani pilots manoeuvred the aircraft in the skies over United Kingdom (UK) paying tribute to the sacrifices rendered by Pakistani army and citizens in the ongoing war against terrorism.
