i saw pictures of this guy taken by french photojournalist eric bouvet that were taken in 1999 when the russians invaded chechnya for the second time. somehow, i bumped into him in bosnia 9 years later. what are the odds that i could see random pictures of someone that were taken on another continent and then actually bump into that person years later on yet another continent?

en route to Mostar from Sarajevo. It was interesting to note the difference in climate when you cross to the other side of the mountains. the weather in sarajevo stays cold until May, but once you cross the mountains the weather is instantly warmer and has a very mediterranean feel.

a late afternoon flight over Wadi Rum (Juliet W). This was one of my first trips into the area and it really felt more like i was flying on mars. there's no towns nearby and the terrain is pretty stark and unforgiving. that coupled with the heat (44C/110F) makes it not such a good place to go down should someting happen.

headed over the mountains and into the training area. there was always heavy turbulence as you came thru the mountains. the aircraft is always stuggling for performance in that heat and at that altitude. luckily, the route we fly along the israeli border gave us plenty of time to get high enough and get over the top.

the return trip into aqaba. this brought us over the same mountains in a different spot. they're not so high, but they're a lot more jagged and steep. we would cross over them about 8000 feet. we're supposedly guaranteed 500' of clearance but it looks more like 50. we would then spiral down into aqaba from overhead the airport to join the approach sequence and make the landing.
