Excellent visibility for take off and landing Posted by jwatsontravel on April 1, 2016

Easy landing and take off with Aurora airlines from Yuzhno-Salkalinsk, little questioning over my Russian visa I think due to being in disputed territory and close proximity to military installations. Exploring active volcanoes in the area, vegetation and ancient oaks all over Kunashir and Kurilsk is a small but lively town.
