On the way to Osaka the other day, we were routed very far north…right over the Kamchatka Peninsula. I can’t remember the east coast ever being clear enough to see the ground, because the scene was stunning. Volcanos everywhere–huge ones. I didn’t bring my camera but luckily one of the other pilots did, and we got these shots between the two of us. Incredible landscape, and sooo remote! Oh, the screen depicts UHPP, which is the identifier for a big airport there: Petropavlosk. We are told to land there only if on fire or engines out (more than one). In other words, it’s not an ideal choice, but the only one in this area.
