Kamchatka Krai
Uka
This morning we're heading to Uka Airport. It was part of the Lend-Lease program of the States back in the second world war, whereby they sent a lot of war stuff to a lot of strange places. A little more recently it was the site of a huge antenna that had something to do with Yuri Gagarin. Nowadays people don't tend to go there much, and Google Earth reports that the runway shows "substantial vegetation overgrowth". I hope they have valet parking.
Ruh roh. Better climb up a bit.

Or maybe down. This is some island. We're massively off course.

Ruh roh indeed.

Hot dawg. There's Uka.

This looks like as far as we're going today. Tomorrow it's volcanoes!
