High-Low flight

Many ex-36Sqn RAAF members will recall a certain Captain achieving both the lowest and highest records for a RAAF C130H within a few weeks of each other. If my successors are to be believed this guy had a C130H at FL410 (no payload, mininimum fuel and hanging off the props) and later some considerable depth below the surface when he bogged an aircraft on a bush strip. Some will go to any lengths, or should that be heights or depths, to gain fame.
