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

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

But where is Khorog? ???

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