Copenhagen to Kabul

Just finished watching an amazing programme on BBC 4. It chronicled a journey by Simone Kaern an aviation enthusiast, who had a fantastic belief in the joy of flight. She would have loved to have been a fighter pilot-not possible, so she learnt to fly and bought an elderly 'Piper Colt.' She then read of a young women Farial in Kabul who had the same dream, and decided to fly down to Kabul and take her for a spin!
She was accompanied on the flight by her boyfriend who did the photography. The journey was as one can imagine quite hazerdous, but Karen appeared to be a determined women. She was refused permission to fly over Sarajavo, Istanbul welcomed her with open arms, and we saw shots of her flying her tiny plane with Turkish fighter planes flown by women pilots, accompanying her. She eventually got permission and a visa to fly over Iran and landed at Mashad in the East, however difficulties arose again when she was refused permission to fly over Afghanistan. She took the 'bull by the horns' and just did it, eventually flying over the mountains at 10500 feet to get the plane over and arrived in Kabul. She met up with Farial and took her for a spin, which the girl seemed to enjoy. However the next day Karen was disappointed when Farial, did not arrive for a pre arranged flight with two Afghan women helicopter pilots, her excuse being her uncle did not approve?
The tiny Piper Colt hitched a flight back home with its owner!
