Any other precision about when (precise time) it will come to Pak?
I have another question: is this one also a boeing test aircraft or a completely new one?

This is the second and final Boeing test aircraft that Boeing used on the B772LR project.

How come two were produced, i think all previous versions only had one test aircraft e.g. B772, B773, B773ER etc..

Yes, a former Boeing test aircraft (registration N6066Z). In fact, it's the same aircraft that established new record for longest distance flight by a commercial airplane on Nov 10, 2005.

thanks all for answering. This means PIA will get this aircraft with a reduced price like the first one.

I have no information about the new colors. Hopefully it is in new colors.

it will be because i dont see any point of the airplane gettin painted in old colors for a flight or two and then back to the new ones ... if it does arrive in old ones .. .that might be maybe Boeing was charging more money for the latest livery ? is that possible though?
