Turkmenistan, Where on Earth Is That?

Almost unknown in the West, almost unheard of, a low profile country, yet in 2025 placed on the US list of countries on which travel restrictions have been imposed. I suspect many will be asking the same question as I did, when I was sent there for one year.

Tam describes his experiences in Turkmenistan beautifully. The reader is there with him, sharing the joys and frustrations of working with an ex-Soviet community. His descriptions of flying are spot on – good for both aviators and non-aviators alike. This would be an enjoyable read for potential flight instructors too, as Tam describes the philosophy and practice of training with great skill and humour. A real joy to read!
