Re: Asiana 747-400 schedule and retirement date?

Another sad day in aviation. Asiana was a relativaly small 747 passenger operator. They only operated the -400 variant and only 3 full pax. 6 others were combi aircraft.

I wonder what happened to C5-MIB, is it still in Lithuania?

This ensures that, in the event of an emergency replacement, t...
