BRAND NEW:PIA 737 AP-BCF Sukkur:Lahore-Bahrain shots!

Post by VirtualPIA »

Here are some shots of PIA's NEWLY REPAINTED series 340 Boeing 737, AP-BCF titled "Sukkur - Date

Delights by the river"
AP-BCF operated PIA flight PK289 from Lahore to Bahrain. Despite being scheduled to leave in the

night, the flight left nearly 10 hours after schedule due to unavailibility of aircraft.

you can go to google and search for VATAME, which is the site of VATSIM Africa and Middle East. Go to its download section, sceneries, and scroll down to find Bahrain..........

Can Sukkhur Airport handle b737s? I remember reading on wiki that Airblue couldn't operate to sukhur cause their planes are too big and they got A320s.

You know what amazes me is the fact that this man, yes this very man can post like dozens of quality screen shot in one go. Tell you, it's not an easy job to select, edit (WRITE DESCRIPTIONS) and post them. This man really inspires me. Good job.. Keep it up :D
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s or 18 mps (108,000 km/h or 67000 mph).
Which means we're travelling 97 times the speed of sound. And yet we can't feel the motion,

Agree with cpt_747, posting too many pics is not at all easy, but Ahmad is one of those, who has this quality, and i also love the effect he give. Nice touch down, good to see flaps and spoilors armed. my fav
Good work buddy!

I totally agree with you. Not only that, what impresses me the most is his creativity with all the AI traffic. Those things take a lot of time.

Keep up the good work VirtualPIA!

awwww thankyou everyone for your great replies.....its your opinions that make doing this worthwhile....

@SAFPILOT, buddy I have a 7 yr old P4.....with the specs that the P4 first came out with....and I found out that apparently my graphic card isnt even officially compatible with FS2004, but hell I can use it........
I will give you the detailed specs when I can...

@Nadirali, I am not sure about that, I hope it can handle 737s.....

@cpt_747, PIA10001, Ali Hassan and PK777, thankyou all for your support!

Ali Hassan, you got your facts straight, its ahem....a long process I have to do, first to make an acuurate parking AFCAD, then putting traffic, etc. etc.
Takes a good 1-2 days for me to get out a set of shots, so I really appreciate your replies!
