ANA 747 in KHI today
A 742 of the airline sporting full basic livery minus titles and partially painted over tail logo was at the airport today parked in an extreme corner beyond the hangar.

I saw it too.. The blue tail first fooled me into thinking it might be an Atlas Air/ Polar Air/ Emirates Cargo, but then I saw the fuselage.
What is it doing in Khi? Hajj Lease?

I think you guys saw ex-ANA Boeing 747-281B (Japanese registration JA8174). It was acquired on lease by Air Universal in October 2005 and registered as 5B-AUC. The aircraft was in storage at Tokyo's Haneda Airport since October 23, 2005 in basic ANA livery but without titles. Now according to latest reports, the aircraft's registration 5B-AUC was cancelled and it was seen leaving Haneda Airport on November 30, 2005 with Pakistani registration AP-BIE.
Is this Boeing 747 still with Air Universal under Pakistani registration and doing Hajj flights for PIA or is it acquired on lease by some Pakistani airline? Any info would be much appreciated.
