The flight from Asaluyeh to Tehran takes a bit more than one hour and while approaching Mehrabad International Airport I got this amazing view of the 12 million people city of Tehran!!

A visitor from United States posted Mon December 3, 2007: Pretty sweet shot. I hope their aircraft maintenance is better than the plane washing.
A visitor from United Kingdom posted Thu March 16, 2006: This photo is very appealing because of the sense of scale it evokes; with the wing in the foreground, the sprawling city, and the mountains in the background. Also, the colours of the buildings and the colour of the wing go well together.
A visitor from Canada posted Wed March 15, 2006: That's realy a big city, but it seems, that is an old plane.

A visitor from Canada posted Sat February 25, 2006: A passenger 707 flying in 2006! This plane must be 10 years older than the Wright Brothers plane! The matted aged surface of the wing and engines goes well with the look of the city. Love the Mountains on the horizen.

A visitor from United States posted Fri February 24, 2006: Hi Christian, nice picture, I never got the chance to fly in one of these (yep, too young when they were phased out), hoewever, is interesting to see the contrast between the sleek new airplanes and the rugged-looking 707's. Those were the days.
A visitor from Germany posted Fri February 24, 2006: Nice Shot - Look at the thousand houses on the ground and the mountains in the backgrund -
A visitor from United States posted Fri February 24, 2006: I've flown a 707 into Tehran, and it sure didn't look like this. Tehran is one of the most polluted cities on the planet, and the first view I had of the city was on short final which comprised of the runway and a hangar. Nevertheless, the 707 is a CLASSIC bird, and I wish I saw it more often!
