Shahram Rostami (Template:Lang-fa) was an Iranian fighter pilot in the Iran-Iraq War. With six definite aerial victories, against three MiGs and three Mirage F1s, he qualifies as a flying ace and holds the record for the second highest score of any F-14 Tomcat pilot behind fellow serviceman Jalil Zandi.[2]
Rostami held office as the deputy commander of Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force and the chairman of Joint Staff of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army.[3][4]
