My KR been based at KLAM at 7171' since it was finished in 1997. The first 350 hours were behind a C-85. The last 250 have been behind a high compression O-200. Typical summer Density Altitudes are 9000 - 9500'. I thought I was flying in the low lands when I picked up my Tomahawk at Reno-Stead. ;o) Jeff Scott N1213W
