Those were taken at LGW greekdude, and it’s changed a great deal since then.

Oops. 😮 I guess it wasn’t enough that the title stated they were from LGW.

Sorry, I meant to answer your original question but I got side-tracked and then forgot all about it.

There is a daily direct PIA service between Manchester and Pakistan.

In addition to this, PIA’s transatlantic services to Toronto, New York, Houston, Chicago also drop in at MAN in both directions.

That’s why we get so many PIA wide-bodies in MAN. It’s quite commonplace to have 3 or 4 on the deck at once. 🙂

Thanks for that Lance. Two more questions now. Will the 772LR, in theory, be sent to one or more of those North American destinations non-stop, thus cutting out MAN as a tech stop? And does PIA have 5th freedom rights on any of the aforementioned routes?

Howdy,

As an American I am EMBARASSED how you were treated by US INS! I am just not sure why anyone would come here!

Yeah, well you shouldn’t be. It seems like the U.S. rolled out the red carpet, for all intents and purposes, compared to what I (an American citizen) had to go through in Canadian customs at YVR for an excursion of simiar length. I was detained for over 2 hours, had my bags screened repeatedly and questioned repeatedly, because the idiot was convinced I was a drug dealer.

As far as you making your connecting flight, you should be ecstatic. When my brother an I connected this past summer through PHL (arrived on LH, departed on UA), we cleared customs in a timely fashion, but took over 2 hours to; first, figure out which queue to stand in, then finally get through security. We barely made our flight with a 2.5 hour layover! I’ll never connect through PHL again. The interline baggage area was a nightmare, and they lost one of our 4 pieces of luggage, that was never found!

Has Mr Pittuck bought a scanner recently??? 😉
Seriously Robert, you have posted some great shots in the past week. PLEASE keep ’em coming!

HERE HERE!! A pair of PA widebody trijets in the same session, I have to pinch myself!

P.S When I can persuade Mrs King to buy me a slide scanner, I’ve got some right gems for this site!!

HERE HERE once again! I love vintage shots! Especially PA and TW.

MAN doesn’t look like it’s changed much. Nice photos. Love that Air Florida DC10.

I think those 747 modifications are more pleasing to the eye than the A380 currently is.

Thanks Lance. 😀
