Arabian Flight

Tonight, permission by the sultan of Muscat to fly over his land

She must fly along the edge of the Arabian peninsula and hope to avoid a forced landing in forbidden territory

This step is the most difficult of our journey so far

It's marked by indistinguishable desert, it has no notable landmarks, and we are obliged to fly around certain regions where flying is forbidden

Approaching Aden

We'll try and push through to Gwadar

On we go

The lure of flying is the lure of beauty

The dramas of the clouds

The glory of the stars

The wonders of the waters and skies

Miles and miles of desert, mountain, sea

Desert, mountain, sea

Perhaps the greatest joy of flying is the magnificence of the view

The passenger seat gets to see the whole world

I want to seek out new sensations

Why do we return to those same ones over and over again?

We hold hands in the moonlight, then spend the rest of our lives trying to repeat the moment

Everything looks good

Let's push through to Karachi

Desert, mountain, sea

I do love to fly
