**Courtesy Rahat Minhas: this is conversation between Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas and air control at PAF Base Masroor around 11:30 am on August 20, 1971. Rashid’s aircraft, whose call sign was 166, got hijacked and he crashed it in order to prevent its crossing into India (it was carrying only him and the hijacker). He was posthumously awarded the highest military award, Nishan-i-Haider, and this recording was broadcast in a radio documentary about him soon afterwards. **
