Mauripur was renamed Masroor Air base in 1967 in memory of Air Commodore Masroor Hussain the Base Commander who was instaneously killed in May 1967 by a bird hit in a B-57 light jet bomber. This B-57 was approaching runway 27 at low level, when a vulture impacted the wind screen and killed the highly distinguished pilot immediately. The low flying bomber hit the ground at high speed, and its debris and broken parts were flung over a vast area, but no one was killed. Masroor’s death was a major loss for the PAF.

He must have been a well liked and loved officer to have an airbase named after him. very few have the honor i guess. rashid, minhas, mushaf and masroor.
