ISLAMABAD: The sky over Islamabad and Karachi will be buzzing on Independence Day as the Pakistan Air Force (PAF) plans to hold air shows in Karachi and Islamabad on August 14.

A number of official events are planned on Sunday to celebrate the country's 70th Independence Day.

The air show will be held at Fatima Jinnah Park, F-9 Park, Islamabad and Sea View Beach, Karachi.

On Saturday, a full-dress rehearsal was carried out in Islamabad with PAF jets whizzing the capital's sky.

According to Radio Pakistan, the special appearance of 'Solo Turk' — the famous aerobatic team of the Turkish Air Force — and the internationally acclaimed 'Saudi Hawks' of Royal Saudi Air Force alongside PAF jets will add colours to the event.

The event will also feature a para-drop by tri-services personnel of the elite Special Services Group.
