We have now arrived in Karachi,
Pakistan. After our long - 9 hour - flight from Luxor the other day,
the 550 mile "hop" over to Karachi seemed very short.
Weather was good but extremely hazy over the sea
and we looking into "white air" most of the trip. Landing in
Pakistan was clear and easy under the guidance of excellent controllers at this
major airport. We were met by Shaheen Air and Customs
representatives at the airplane. Procedures were quick and
easy. Time from touch down to hotel was 1 1/2 hours.
We now face some decisions about tomorrow's planned
flight. There is a depression over the Bay of Bengal (India) which could
bring severe weather to Patna - our next destination - in North East India over
the next 2 days. We will watch weather tonight and decide on tomorrows
planned flight later.
