Perfect Shot :thumbs_up:

Ideal for "Find the difference" photos. I am trying to spot one but surprisingly both look 100% similar

Always good to see these two together. I fly AP-BID a lot in FSX and AP-BHV was the first ride I made in air with my own purchased ticket

Actually there are differences, 2 to be precise. Can anyone spot them? Both planes are not identical.

1) Location of Pakistan on the belly as pkheavy has pointed out.
2) The Green & Golden strip is slightly thicker on BID than BHV.
The orbital speed of the Earth around the Sun averages about 30 km/s or 18 mps (108,000 km/h or 67000 mph).
Which means we're travelling 97 times the speed of sound. And yet we can't feel the motion, SubhanAllah

How about the word Pakistan painted under belly, not painted exactly at the same location.

Correct....and you win the prize of.....oh sorry no prize but well done anyway :thumbs_up:

Seriously it would be fun to play spot the difference on just about any PIA plane particularly the A310's and 747's. None of them are the same.

One of them is a 200ER (AP-BGK) and other is a 300ER (Looks like AP-BHV)

200ER has 3 doors, 300ER has 4

300ER has golden stripe missing

Hi Faisal my remark about difference was kinda sarcastic,773 is AP BHW actually and from photos Moin posted today you can see its in hybrid livery,Actually since the rudder was changed it never had full livery,first with white rudder and now PIA just painted the tail,erased garden of mughals and left rest of the palne as it is...
Realy like the photo of AP BHX,saw it taking off from Birmingham other day and it looked awesome in evening sun..

So unprofessional to have so many variations in the livery.

I for one love it especially with AP-BHX retaining the Balochistan tail.
