We're going back to former members of the Soviet bloc, Azerbaijan...

A British Airways aircraft waiting in line after me to take off.

After takeoff, we head north over the Elburz Mountains. This trip is beautiful because shortly after, the mountain range suddenly ends in an almost straight line to make way for the vast expanse of the Caspian Sea.

Leaving Iran behind.

Abseron Peninsula is ahead. Baku is just at the middle of it.

The best landing I've had in a long time...
