Pakistan Air Force (PAF) on Friday got its new head, after Air Chief Marshal Zaheer Ahmed Babar was handed over the command of the force at a ceremony in Islamabad.<\/p>\n

ACM Zaheer Ahmed Babar was given his new stars and the command sword by the outgoing Air Chief Mujahid Anwar Khan.<\/p>\n

As part of tradition, the outgoing air chief reviewed a guard of honour on his last day in office. He was also given a salute by JF-17 fighter jets.<\/p>\n
