Breaking Barriers, Soaring High: A Christian Pilot’s Defining Moment
In a defining moment of bravery and national pride, Group Captain Kamran Masih, a devoted Christian officer in the Pakistan Air Force, led a historic mission on May 10, 2025.

Against the odds, he rose through the ranks of the Pakistan Air Force, breaking not only sound barriers—but social ones too.
