Hey Hey IFC
This afternoon I decided to finally cross offanother bucket-list flight with my 2nd favorite 757 - Uzbekistan Airlines; the flag carrier that shares its namesake
! This flight is actually operated on their A321neo’s, but since that aircraft isn’t released, this was the next best option, and one that pleased my retro loving personality
!! Alongside Phuket, the airline also serves the Thai capital on their A321s and 767-300ERs!

Stepping off the bus
that took us over from the terminal, we are awaited by this 1999 built
that will take us to southeast Asia
Departing off Tashkents’ runway 26R with a very respectable crosswind that coupled with the 757s’ very sensative rudder make my expirance something to remember
Alvido Toshkent
See you soon!!
And so begins the nearly 2 hour treck across the western Himylayas and Tibetan Platueu
before traversing India
and the Bay of Bengal! Fun Fact, this end of the range is home to K2, the second tallest mountain on the planet, standing at 28,251 ft (8,611 m). It stands just about 800 feet lower than Everest
Passing over the lovely Pakistani city of Peshawar on the other side of the mountains
Passing over the megatropolis that is Delhi, India
Next land mass we pass is the Andaman and Nicobar Islands which are a Union Territory of India! Towards the right side of the picture is North Sentinel Island which is home to the last Uncontacted native tribes on the globe.
Phuket is in sight
