Retired Boeing 720B (AP-AXL) of Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) on display at PIA Planetarium will be a sight to see from Orange Metro Train track in Lahore.

The aircraft is in a good position to promote the airline and become an attraction for metro train passengers.

Hope someone convinces PIA to restore her soon, maybe hand her over to the Lahore Museum or even the Army Museum in Lahore as they have quite an impressive aviation collection on display there.
