Who's flying out of the higest elev airport?

Flew up to Leadville Saturday morning. Good flight with awesome views
of the snow-covered mountains. Density altitude around 10,000 feet
but no problem for the RV-6A (180 hp).

I need to know if the Kollsman window in your
altimeters has a wide enough range to allow you, IF YOU DESIRED TO DO SO, to
set your altimeters to 0 elevation on a consistent basis before take off at
your field instead of a MSL setting.

This is not as close from Colorado as what you expected, but in France,
the highest airport elevation is well over 8000ft. You cannot set your
altimeter to 0 at such an altitude.
We have many airports like this here, where the runway is not flat but
on the contrary has a steep slope. You use it to land (up the slope) or
to take off (down the slope). To use such an airport, you must hold a
special "mountain" rating and must have learnt to land and take off on
such a special airfield. No go around there because the ground goes up
faster than your aircraft.
