Pah, these are all low level compared to some of the fields in South Africa :-

Ermelo - 5700ft
Sweetwaters - 5800ft

There are probably more airfields over 2,000ft than under it.

And in Lesotho there are a couple of airfields with elevations over 8600ft !!

Some people in the UK have never even flown that high !!.

Then forget to factor in the 30c+ temps on some days, and try taking off with "Mixture Rich" and see what happens.

Anyway, back to the thread :-

Isn't LBA the highest with comemrcial traffic at 681ft ?.
