Antonov, bad weather and mountains...

[Ivan]

The local hospital in Khorog urgently needs supplies, and the rain has damaged the road so it's unable to do it by truck...


Loading up at Dushanbe, flying through thunderstorms


Weather is bad, AGL altitude low...


But the ATC keeps shifting from Kabul center to Dushanbe center every minute, while the 'hell stretch' is getting closer and the clouds are closing in...


Entering the worst part of the route: 2 narrow 180 degree turns, very small error margain, radar altitude and bank angle warning blaring while doing the turns


Final turn of the 'hell stretch' and then only 5 minutes to Khorog. The weather did get a little better, but the thrust levers decided not to cooperate with each other, so i had only control over engine #1. Made it safely to the field though

Great pics, that plane looks great, as does the scenery. The story's cool too.

Well done

Very nice shots! That was a good idea dividing the whole pic.

I like the story as well.

But where is Khorog?

Is that around Nepal or Tibet or something? Or Russia?
