This photo taken in
USA shows Lockheed L-100-382B-4C Hercules (AP-AUT) sporting PIA
logo before its delivery flight to Pakistan. Two brand new
Lockheed L-100s - first one registered as AP-AUT and second one
as AP-AUU - were operated by PIA for a very brief period of time
after their delivery to the airline in 1966 and later same year
these two transport aircraft were transferred to Pakistan Air
Force (PAF). AP-AUT received serial# 64144 and and is still in
service with PAF. AP-AUU received air force serial# 64145 but
unfortunately met a tragic end when in 1968, during a supply
mission attempt, it disintegrated in severe turbulence over
Pakistan's Karakoram mountains regions |
