These shots have been taken as a tribute to the Boeing 747 and PIA crews, both of whom served
their company and their country tirelessly.
These shots capture PIA flight 853, operating from Tokyo Narita to Beijing Capital
to Islamabad to Karachi.
This flight was operated by AP-BGG, Kaghan, and commanded by myself, Ahmed Ahsen.

To the Boeing 747....
Do you know how I feel when you touch my heart
Can you hear me cry inside at your silent embrace
Do you see the fear I keep hidden away
Can you feel the pain I never show
I can't help but smile when you touch my heart
You can't know the warmth it brings me
I can't bring myself to share the love
You can't see the hope in my soul
If only I too touch your heart
I only try to ease your fears
If only I could help as much
I only wish I were as true
Do you know you touch my heart
I love you being in my life
Do you feel the way I do
Do you know you touch my heart
Long live the queen of the skies!
