Young Rashid Touches the Height of Glory

Rashid Minhas was born in Karachi, where he spent his early childhood. Later, the family shifted to Rawalpindi. Minhas had his early education from St Mary’s Cambridge School in Rawalpindi. After moving back to Karachi, he attended St Patrick’s High School, where he did his O’Levels and A’Levels. Rashid was fascinated with aviation history and technology. He used to collect different models of aircraft and jets since childhood.
