Boarding process on the ramp at Urgench in central Uzbekistan near the Turkmenistan border. I had been trying to get a Il-114 flight, but this was the best I could get. Using the picture of a cabin layout I tried to explain the checkin employee I needed not just a window seat, but a righthand side window seat. This to make sure I got to see the parked Uzbek fleet on arrival in Tashkent. This foto with a low sun shows the how the Uzbeks came up with their flag, and the colourscheme on their fleet of aircraft. The Green fields below and the blue sky above.
