Lockheed L-100-382B-4C Hercules


This photo shows Lockheed L-100-382B-4C Hercules (AP-AUU) sporting PIA logo during a pre-delivery test flight in USA. Two brand new Lockheed L-100s - first one registered as AP-AUT and second one as AP-AUU - were operated by PIA for a very brief period of time after their delivery to the airline in 1966 and later same year these two transport aircraft were transferred to Pakistan Air Force (PAF). AP-AUT received serial# 64144 and and is still in service with PAF. AP-AUU received air force serial# 64145 but unfortunately met a tragic end when in 1968, during a supply mission attempt, it disintegrated in severe turbulence over Pakistan's Karakoram mountains region

Why don't PAF go for C5 Galaxy or similar aircrafts from Airbus and Antonov.
