Here is a high altitude (for us) picture of an Afghanistan Valley in spring.
A pretty wide valley, probably taken about 3-400 agl
Pick where you would land, if you HAD to!
"If you go down, crash up slope. The tail SHOULD stop you from tumbling down."-Advice given to us upon arriving here.
The only reason to fly high is to get good scenery pictures.
Check out the mud huts. This is a typical valley farm area.
Gotta love my girl! She takes care of us.
Flying into the sun sucks, but it sure makes for a nice picture.
Well it only took me all evening but I got it to work. Enjoy. |

Wurly,
Thanks for the great pictures!
Flying is such a location is dangerous enough, but with possibility of people shooting at you - makes my stomach churn just thinking about it...

thanks for putting yourself in harms way
you were really on target when you said it is good to be able to visualize the winds. |
