145th X-Plane.org fly-in (Afghanistan)

-return to picture archive-

 

With low visibility throughout the day and high mountains surrounding the airport, landings in Kabul were quite tricky to pull off. I started out by flying an Air India 777 from Delhi after first losing a 747 to multiple birdstrikes during takeoff, and then visited nearby Jalalabad before heading off to Tehran at the end of the day.
