ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN
CURRENT AIR FORCE FLAGS
The Pakistan Air Force followed British tradition by adopting an air force ensign of the RAF pattern: sky blue with the national flag as a canton and the air force roundel in the fly. There are two versions of this flag: one for outdoor display and one with green/white fringe for indoor display and parade use. The National Standard of the Air Force is a variant of the national flag with the Air Force badge in the upper hoist and green/white fringe. When the standard and the fringed ensign are carried together, the former is posted on the right, in the honor position. Air Defense Command is the Pakistan Air Force's senior operational command; its ensign replaces the roundel with the command badge.
The first rank flags for officers of air rank were based on the British system, but when new rank insignia were adopted, with stars denoting rank, the flags shown below were introduced.
Flag Proportions: Pakistan Air Force flags are made in 2:3 proportions.
