Kabul, Afghanistan

view map

Final on an extremely cold afternoon with the clearest air and most impressive view in days, making enormous hills and mountains visible in the distance.

After following a very smokey Russian Antonov-12 through the Kabul valley we were cleared to land on runway 29. This An-12 is still on the runway and will vacate by the time we reach the runway.


What a sight...

Can you post a hi-res, wallpaper-sized version? I must have this as my wallpaper.

You know An-12 needs all the runway to get off the ground ;-)
