Not Bogota but in the right direction
Before the rest of the buggers on this continent arise:

"El Alto" La Paz International Airport, Bolivia. At 13,313' the world's highest.

That's a Lloyd Aero Boliviano 727 (their one and only, at the time, IIRC) refuelling for another flight. LAB was a great little airline, well run with a good record, at least in those days (RIP).

Pity the shot didn't include one of the the B-17 (love those turbo chargers at 13K'!) or C-46 freighters which used to haul the world's best beef up from Bolivia's Amazon ranches.
