JIAP & PIA Engineering... a visit (lots of photos)

[mhansari]

Hope you guys enjoy the pictures at least half as much as we enjoyed being there!

Great pictures! The action shot of Thai was my favorite.

In the panoramic shot there are 3 A310's. The one right in the middle of the picture, between the 747's seems to lack parts of the engine and the nose cone as well?

Also, what is the current status of the fleet? How many are inactive??

Top quality photos!

Had been trying to find registrations of those grounded Shaheen Boeing 737-200s. Good to know one of them is AP-BHG.

Thank you for sharing.

Excellent photographs of a graveyard.

Kazakh Airlines TU-154 with registration UN-85455 has been stored at KHI for 17 years. The CAA should dump it asap.

Btw excellent shots mhansari! =D> As far as i can see...apart from BFU & BGJ there seems to be an A310 in the Isphani Hanger. Please tell what registration it is? & whether a C-Check or a D-Check is being performed?

Upload more, you took loads. I'll upload some of mine here too.

It was sad to see 3 out of 5 PIA's 747-300's out of service. The 747 you see in the hangar here is AP-BFU which suffered the air bridge collapse damage. AP-BFY is stripped of all 4 engines and looks like will remain out of service for sometime and the third was also partially stripped out while the fourth (BGG) was making its way to the hangar as BFU was ejected to make way for it.







AP-BFU Air Bridge collapse damage:







It was close to 55 degrees and hotter inside the cockpit and avionics bay. Couldn't stand there for more than 2 minutes:




AP-BFY:





AP-BAT 1980-2010:


The sad state of BFY. Next in line for the choppers block?




AP-BAK 1979-2011:




AP-BGG making its way to the hangar as BFU is pushed out:

These are amazing. The bare metal 777 looks amazing! And the slow death of the 747 is sad to see. Great stuff...

Looks like AP-BFY is being cannibalised!

[AbdulAziz]

Great shots from mhansari & Moin , very thanks for both of them for sharing these great shots with us.
