I saw that the other day on JP.net, and thought it was a wonderful photograph when I saw it there too. Well Done!

Is there much traffic at this airport? Are there any more photographs?

There are daily two scheduled flights operated by PIA. Here is the latest on ANet.

I have a 27 inch iMac and it still doesn’t fit on my vast screen! 😀

Any chance you can make that pic any bigger? I’m struggling to see it with my old eyes 🙂

I feel sorry for Pakistan. Karachi was once the main Airport of South East Asia. Now it’s dead, British Airways/KLM/Lufthansa have all gone.

Gilgit is a pretty epic Airport though:

[QUOTE=steve rowell;1549912]I dare say you could only approach that runway from one direction :eek::D[/QUOTE

Thanks guys for liking it. Steve, this is the only direction for landing, however, a go around is possible. The new one would give you a better idea of this side of the valley. Wait for shots of the approach side to see the tricky part.
