Here is one possible solution:
:g/\%1l\|\%3l\|\%4l/t$
assuming that AAA is on the line 1 and we are coping thing to the end
of file. As you can see the g command is not very handy to do that.
Another way is to go to AAA and copy to a register, let say 'a' (with
normal command "aY) and then go to the next line and copy it with "AY
(which means append to the register a). You can also use visual
selection if it makes it easier. And then paste from the register a.

Best regards,
Marcin
