Date: 14 May, 2004
Time: 1.35 - 2.44pm
Distance: 205.8nm

Today we're going across the deserts to Afghanistan.

Sandwiched between two Pakistan Airlines 747-300s at the tarmac.

Taking off from Islamabad.

The route today is full of sand, open spaces, and mountains. At 34000ft, it probably seems peaceful compared with real life happening below...

Landing at Afghanistan, with mountains surrounding the airport.
