        Can A343 fly directly from KHI to PWM?

              Will 4R-ADC have stopover between KHI and PWM ? I think it landed at PSM after the departure from KHI.

                yep, nonstop KHI-PSM (not PWM) enroute time 14:24!

                  Ex-SriLankan A340 , 4R-ADC is now in Portsmouth Airport, USA. I think this picture was taken yesterday after arrival from Colombo via Karachi. Sad site

                    Hi Haleef - Do you know the answer for above question by umedha? Are 4R-ADA & 4R-ADB still in Colombo? Were there any ceremony for the retirement of first A340? more pictures of 4R-ADC are going to be posted on our forum in a few days time.

                      I've ferried an A340 14:00 non stop.

                      With full tanks it will fly 16:00 easily.
                      Always fly a stable approach - it's the only stability you'll find this business

                        Hi! I have no idea of whether it was flown by UL pilots or Ferry pilots.. Yes ADA - Inside the B747 Hangar and ADB (I think it has gone) are still in Colombo. No, I didn't see any ceremony for the retirement of the First Airbus 340..

                          Looks like 4R-ADC ended up in Bob Sikes Airport, Clearsview, FL.




                          Looks like it was ferried by this ferrying firm http://www.jettestandtransport.com/

                          BTW that picture looks very sad. Did UL gave it a "good bye"?

                          • Payed a bit extra to India last year just to fly on this magnificent bird: 4R-
                            ADC. This is the video of the trip-report on board ADC to MAA captured back in September 2014
                            An end of an era, hats off to a brilliant aircraft and a wonderful experience

                              I think next one go will be ADB.

                                When 4R-ADG , is still in the fleet , why did UL have to retire 4RADC ?
