PAF Base Mushaf (formerly PAF Base Sargodha) (IATA: SGI, ICAO: OPSR) is a Pakistan Air Force airbase located at Sargodha in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is the headquarters of the PAF Central Air Command.
It was known as PAF Base Sargodha until 2003, when it was renamed in honour of former Base Commander and Chief of the Air Staff Air Chief Marshal Mushaf Ali Mir, whose aeroplane crashed on a routine flight near Kohat the same year. It has also been nicknamed the PAF's Top Gun base due to the PAF's elite Combat Commanders School being based there.

Famous quotes containing the word base:
“Thou treacherous, base deserter of my flame,
False to my passion, fatal to my fame,
Through what mistaken magic dost thou prove
So true to lewdness, so untrue to love?”
—John Wilmot, Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)
