Those are just big hills. When the passes are at 17,500 you are in
the mountains.

OTOH if you are from Michigan anything over 500 feet is a mountain.

Which State holds the record for flatness? Iowa seems to be a
contender but I don't know if it's the flattest.

And the airplane looks like a Cessna 172. Yes, we fly those
in the mountains safely!
