Here's Our Ride

 Mazar's airport is quite tiny, so you just walk from the parking lot through one room and you're on the tarmac.  The Beechcraft is our usual airplane.  It seats 18-20, and makes disturbingly loud noises as it struggles to get enough power to take off at higher altitudes.  Mazar itself is down on a plain, and so while it has fairly high mountains on one side, the city area itself is pretty flat, and the lower elevation means it's quite a bit warmer than Kabul.
