However Air Uzbekistan was another story, one of the scariest things I have done and that includes motorcycle racing at Daytona Speedway in the rain. Flying 40+ year old Aeroflot castoff's with bald tires and no seat belts and I think a drunk pilot. (the intra country flight, the 7 hr flight from Frankfurt was on a newer Airbus and was OK except for the blaring Russian MTV with god awful music the whole way...like SNL skit of Russian pop music.)
