Such a typical news report, completely missing the understanding of aircraft operation. Why don't they just ask someone? Because of the reference to "thin air", I assumed that the comment refered to a geared "two speed" supercharger being stuck in second gear. We used to shift gears in T-28s that used an R-1820 engine with a two speed supercharger. The shift would take place somewhere between 10-14,000' during climbout. Bob Moore
