The following pictures were taken this June in Leadville, CO. This was during an FAA high altitude flight test program which included tethered max power pulls to establish 10 foot, 50 foot and 150 wheel height performance charts as well as controlability, OEI and Vne expansion tests up to 14,000 Density Altitude.

Towards the end of the flight test program we had a visitor from the military test pilot school.
