      I can see 4R-ADC is now flying towards western europe via Karachi. What's going to happen to this aircraft?

            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.
                          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-

                                An end of an era, hats off to a brilliant aircraft and a wonderful experience
