🛫 Taking Off from Bam (BXR)

Best sideRight
WhyOn runway 12 departures you climb out to the southeast, which puts the historic Bam Citadel and Bam city, sitting northwest of the field, off your tail on the right side for the first minute or so of the climb. As you continue climbing, the rugged foothills of the Jebal Barez range to the south also come into view on that same side, giving the right side the more interesting mix of cultural and terrain features.
