AP-BFX 3 Boeing 747-367 PIA Pakistan International Airlines MAN 23MAR03

Replacing an earlier scanned photo with a better version 23-Nov-20, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 25-Nov-23 (unfortunately there is some yellowing of the negative).

 

Named: "City of Karachi".

 

First flown with the Boeing test registration N6018N, this aircraft was delivered to Cathay Pacific Airways as VR-HOL in Feb-87. It was re-registered B-HOL in Jul-97 when Hong Kong became an autonomous region of China.

 

The aircraft was sold to PIA Pakistan International Airlines as AP-BFX in May-99. It was withdrawn from use and stored at Sialkot, Pakistan in Feb-08. The aircraft was later moved to Karachi, Pakistan and broken up there in Feb/Mar-11.
