Afghanistan.

PILOT: Let's see find a notch over here.

PILOT: Yeah, if we have to go to fourteen for just a second
it won't be too bad.

Wow, these guys were hot running unfamiliar Canyons for over 30 minutes. And
it sounds like they may have been unpressurized or w/o pax O2 (ref the 14K).
Young and Bold.
