Abdullah Naveed had always envisioned himself as a fighter pilot, reflecting the PAF's historical association with many young Pakistanis.
Abdullah visited a PAF operational base where he was given an honorary rank by Southern Air Command Air Officer Commanding Air Vice Marshal Khalid Mehmood and Base Commander Air Commodore Asim Rana in the customary PAF fashion. The activity was sponsored by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Pakistan.
