Leg 16: Jiwani PK to Karachi PK 295 NM 00:52:00 ETE
“The most important reason for going from one place to another is to see what’s in between, and they took great pleasure in doing just that.”
Our final leg takes us from the Iranian-Pakistani border to the Provincial Capital and Economic Powerhouse City of Karachi. It’s been a long road to get here, and the ending is just as scenic and exhilarating as when we stepped off at Pent Farm in the UK 4,301 NM ago.
Despite the hot and clear day, a haze has built up as we arrive at the Cape Monze NDB, and the arrivals are piling up. On the turnout, a PIA liner and I are briefly nose-to-nose as a gaffe over taxiing instructions nearly leads to a ground incursion, but we make it safely to the ramp. What a trip!
