[FONT=&]Recently Pakistani media has been telling quite fascinating stories about Germany buying a PIA Airbus A300 (Reg. AP-BEQ) for their aviation history museum to keep as an artifact about PIA's history of operations in Europe.
[/FONT][FONT=&]
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Well, the fact of the matter is quite different. This particular model of Airbus A300 is going to be used for preservation as Air France Airbus A300B4 (Reg. F-BVGG).
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]There is a history behind Air France Airbus A300B4 (Reg. F-BVGG). The particular plane will be associated with a famous hijacking of 1971 followed by Israeli hostage-rescue commando operation called 'Operation Entebbe' in Uganda. This PIA plane has already been transformed into Air France 1970s livery.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]So anyone having fantasy of visiting German museum to see a preserved PIA plane should now change their minds and go through a piece of 1970s history before proceeding.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]*** On the other hand there are news about Nawaz Govt selling the plane at a dirt cheap price of just $60k (in a very shady deal -or usual 'crooks' fashion.) compared to a real value of a few Million Dollars.
