        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.

                            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.

                                            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-

                                                    I think next one go will be ADB.

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

                                                            I think because 4R-ADC is older than ADG and it is around 20 years older..
