PIA's very first Boeing 747 (registration AP-AYW) on its delivery flight to Pakistan in 1976 was flown by Capt. Shaukat and Capt. Khusro. Earlier, Capt. Khusro was one of the first sixteen PIA captains who went to United Airlines Training Center in Denver, Colorado, for the B747 training in early 1976. It was a proud moment for these pilots. They were more excited about the transition from DC-10 to B747 then from B707 to DC-10. Flying the 747 was the most prestigious thing for a pilot at that time
