Being really picky...

airfield elev: 2996'msl
maneouvre altitude - 1670'agl
should have been - 2500'agl

last two heights according to press report.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I always was crap at those altimeter/QNH/QFE questions, but it doesn't look like it was a question of putting in the airfield elevation msl vs zeroing the altimeter (QFE and QNH are not referred in the US) while on the ground.

I wonder if the pilot has that picture framed for her/his collection?
