Beautiful Memories of Captain Janjua: Pilot of PK 661

A few hours ago, the tragic news of the airplane crash of Flight PK 661 that was on the way to Islamabad from Chitral left everyone heavy-hearted. Famous TV personality Junaid Jamshed along with his wife were also among those 47 passengers that lost their lives in this tragic plane crash.

While everyone is mourning the national tragedy and even though the names of Pilot Captain Salehyar Janjua and Co-Pilot Captain Ahmed Janjua have made it to the news, no one actually is familiar with Captain Salehyar Janjua. Captain Janjua had a Youtube Channel under his name ‘Salehyar Janjua’, where, like a true patriot, in order to showcase the beauty of Pakistan to the world, he would record the take-offs and the landings of different flights that he would take and post them on his Youtube Channel.
