:Most of the PAF officers were unhappy with the Air Chief, it appeared. This would be something not very pleasant for Air Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir to hear, if he is at all worried. At times when the armed forces need to be very alert and ready, with the officers ready to perform their national duty with a sense of honor and pride, such ill feelings in senior ranks of the force against their own chief are bad news.
Many officers, LampPost learnt, spoke with Khalid Khawaja and openly criticized the CASA deal, not only because kickbacks were involved but because the aircraft itself was sub standard and not fit for the tough tasks required by the PAF. "They have really harmed the air force interests by making this deal. This plane is not even worth 10 million dollars each," a well respected and the most qualified officer in the PAF in the field of transport aircraft, commented.

The actual loss list, sounds like a lot of Pakistans Top Crabs ....

PAF Air Chief Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir, his wife, Air Marshal Salim Nawaz, Air Marshal Razzaq, Air Commodore Jawed and Air Commodore Raja Rizwan were among the plane crash victims
