About Khyber Khan

Mohammad Khyber Khan (15 March 1924 — 7 July 2007) was a Pakistani former two-star rank air officer and among the pioneer officers of the Pakistan Air Force, a fighter pilot, aerobatic pilot and diplomat. Air Vice Marshal Khyber Khan and retired Air Marshal Asghar Khan were considered among the likely successors to President Ayub Khan during the collapse of his regime. Khyber was described as "a young, energetic, and popular air force officer in his early forties - who happens to look very much like a younger Ayub Khan." Khyber Khan was the first to take flight in Pakistan's inaugural air display on Pakistan Day 1948, witnessed by 150,000 people.
