High And Low
Prompted by a low flying question I thought I'd ask the board the
highest or lowest airport you've flown into/out of. I've got about 12000 hrs in the lowest reaches of the airspace system doing crop dusting worldwide, and utility work with helicopters in same areas. BTW, a couple of those airports have to include La Paz Bolivia, Quito Ecuador, and on the low end of the scale is Metzada at -1266 msl. thats minus 1266 msl in the Dead Sea region.

"SelwayKid" wrote in message highest or lowest airport you've flown into/out of. LaPaz, Bogota. Lowest at sea level, I'd guess. Nothing unusually low.

The lowest AGL is a couple of feet spraying cotton in Georgia...the lowest MSL
is Imperial, CA at about -110 or something in a Caravan and the highest elevation is around the 7000' mark flying gliders in Colorado. -John *You are nothing until you have flown a Douglas, Lockheed, Grumman or North American*

How about density altitude, does that count? I've been to Fairbanks, AK
