@ Mutt, thanks for the flick; saw another similar one and it sure is impressive, makes me recall the text-book diagrams of an advancing cold front.
re: Kabul
Not another exotic destination like Geneva or Milan, but as the old saying goes, "where there's muck, there's brass." As far as the safety aspects of it, I think I'd feel more comfortable going into Kabul than into Basra and some other places we already operate to based on current security situations. I see that there is quite a bit of air service already going into Kabul, including scheduled airlines such as Air India. I do recall Air Arabia used to fly there but pulled out. Curious on what that was based on.
