tomcatwarne: Ran out of fuel
Peshawar to Chitral, one of the most dangerous passenger flight paths in the world.
Once the flight enters the valley systems, it's committed. On this occasion the pilot aborted the flight before we entered the first valley.
Can't say I was too disappointed.

tomcatwarne: I know the area
We ended up doing the journey overland. Instead of a 50 minute flight it took us 27 hours, not to mention being 'ambushed' twice.

tomcatwarne: I know the area
Two places worth a wee panic when landingThe old Airport at Kai Tak in Hong Kong a flyover 25 yards in foront of the threshold and you actually fly in between Multi storey houses and look up at wee chines ladies in the kitchen that is after a 90o turn 300 yards from the runway
And the approach to the Runway on the Faroe Islands is between Mountains on all sides and only one way in or out no room for error.
But for sheer fun try a trip in the back seat of a Jaguar or Tornado in the Scottish Highlands at 500 kts looking up at the Deer and Sheep. Adrenalin is really Brown
