1. What is the lowest pubic airport in the USA? Cochran
(TRM) is -114ft, is there any lower?

Furnace Creek - (L06). -210 ft. Landed there a few weeks ago. Pretty
interesting place.

2. What is the highest and lowest public airport int the world?

Highest is Bangdag Airport in Tibet at 14,100 ft. Lowest is Furnace
Creek, AFAICT - there doesn't seem to be an airport near the Dead Sea.

Wonder what a local (Dead Sea) purpose built float plane would look like?
Maybe like a Cub on skis. g

This spring we are planning a trip to Riverside, CA (KPWA-KRIR) to visit
relatives. I was thinking about shooting a touch&go at Thermal, just to see the
altimeter go negative. I thought about go to Furnace Creek for brunch at the
Furnace Creek Inn, but me and mountains don't get along to well.

If you request flight following, can you really "slip the surly bonds of earth"?
