High And Low

[SelwayKid]

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.

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.

How about density altitude, does that count? I've been to Fairbanks, AK
(434'MSL) in January when it was -58F.
