Lesson about PIA Pakistan International Airlines

Found that on YT

[Huraiz]

Not bad effort if it's been made by school kids. Nice find though

[Nasir]

factual/historical mistakes abound. I bet Abbas can pinpoint many more...

[Abbas Ali]

The video begins with incorrect information.

Actually PIA began operations with its own three Super Constellation aircraft and its first service was between Karachi and Dacca (now Dhaka) in year 1954.

I've seen PIA page on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan_I ... l_Airlines) and history page on official PIA website (http://piac.com.pk/PIA_About/pia-about_History.asp) ignoring or forgetting airline's first service between Karachi and Dacca in 1954.

For this mistake, the makers of this video can be forgiven if they used incomplete information given on official PIA website.

[Nasir]

the video also mis-labled F-27 and Convair, calling each the other.

[Abbas Ali]

Some other mistakes:

* PIA stands for 'Pakistan International Airlines' not 'Pakistan International Airways'.

* Boeing 707 should have been shown instead of Boeing 747 when operation of PIA's first jet flight is mentioned.

* Pakistan Air Force Airbus A310-300 is shown in place of PIA Airbus A310-300 when types of aircraft in PIA fleet are mentioned.

I'll try and make a english version with correct details soon!

[Nasir]

^oh, I didn't know you were the one who made the original version. Unless I'm mistaken in reading what you just said...

[PK777]

^ No Nasir I did not make the original video. I thought I could make one with English as someone on YT wants one done in English? Maybe need to organise a script!
