Welcome to forum Connielover. AP-BCL was sold to Orange Air as 9L-LOR in November 2005.

Thanks Guys,

So this means that PIA never bortherd in the end to provide one of there retired B747s to the PAF Museum....Hmmm not good :( , they ended up breaking couple up instead they could have one donated to the museum!, i guess preserving older aircraft is still not big in Pakistan specially commercial big birds......

Yeah so whats wrong with that, anyone can pay the bucks and buy it, no restrictions on that my friend :? :shock:

Actually i have seen some photos on airliners.net of ex-PIA's B747 in Marana air park, its stored there, any knowledge on that perticular B742 and why its there?....

I was just passing a comment, chill!

Jeez :roll:

Oh and BTW, did you ever receive that PC-3 Orion model I posted to you from London which you asked me to buy for you? You kind of 'dissapeared' after that.
