Questions pondered at 6500 feet

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 Montblack

Questions pondered at 6500 feet
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. On Tue, 17 Jan 2006 06:48:52 GMT, "Marc J. Zeitlin" wrote: 1.

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.

You guys surprised me. I thought for sure I would get some comments about a
seaplane in Oklahoma. Oh well. Did I tell you I flow today? George On Mon, 16 Jan 2006 23:07:02 -0600, George wrote: 3.
