    I saw a PIA 777 at JFK this week. What is its normal routing?
    And I, I took the path less traveled by
    and that has made all the difference......yet...
    I have a feeling a handle of people are going to be very interested in what I post in the near future.

    Has an 772LR visited JFK yet?
    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

    Hi, My cousin works for PIA at Manchester. From March 26th PIA will operate non stop service to Pakistan from JFK. This is the schedule

    PK-717 Karachi-Manchaster-New York (Boeing 742)
    PK-727 Karachi-New York
    PK-715 Karachi-Lahore-Manchaster-New York (Boeing 742)
    PK-723 Karachi-Islamabad-New York
    PK-721 Lahore-New York


    The non stop sectors shall be done by the new Boeing 777-200 LR's. Also the 777-200LR shall stop at JFK from Seattle tomorrw the 23rd to pick up passengers for its first commercial non stop flight to Pakistan.

    You'd rather see a 747-300 than a 777-200LR?

    Does the 777-200LR really look any different than other 777s? A couple inches on the tail or something right?

    747-3s are cool. :)

    AP-BGJ (which I somehow missed on Sunday - maybe on the endcap of T4B?) is a 777-240ER. The first LR is AP-BGY.

    I wonder if we have a terrorist-Boeing exchange program with Pakistan. For every few dozen terrorists they give us, we give them a 772LR maybe? Maybe a B1 bomber as reward for finding Osama himself. :D

    Mario and Tom,

    The 772LR has raked wingtips, as opposed to the regular -200 which doesn't have any wing device at all.

    I love those raked wingtips on the -300, and I'd think it would be great to see it on a -200 body. Also, just knowing that advanced technology on the plane makes me want to see it.
