The ground infront of ASF school ? That explains the construction and the breaking down of the wall that was with Shaheen Hanger.

To be used for anti-terrorism/anti-hijacking training by ASF?

BTW, AP-BFV itself became victim of terrorism at Karachi Airport in June 2014.

A Tribute to PIA's Last -747-300 AP-BFV, I found this Picture in my Archives when My Dad was part of the Delivery Team when BFV was bought from Cathay Pacific & He was there for a Conversion Training.. As Boeing say "We Build Legends" 747 or widely known as Jumbo is Truly a Legend & Legends don't get Replaced.. :)

^ Thank you Umar for the info.

Boeing 737-300 should have good enough if it's placed there as playground attraction.

And, in case it's there for anti-hijacking/anti-terrorism training then Airbus A310-300 if not Boeing 737-300 should have been good enough.
