Looks like a complete whiteout, but that double intersecting runway sure must have its deicing system cranked if it's glowign that red hot...

I see nothing (seriously - stupid white box w/ the red X :furious )!

This is just a sobering picture. I have a nephew in Kabul and a bro-in-law somewhere in the northern territories doing Special Ops stuff.

Figured out the link issue:



Very cool shot.  Neat plane too, I think of DH-8s as upgraded/sized BN-2s.
