The company for which I worked in the 1980's had a P68 flying from Wilson Airport in Nairobi into Somalia.

The pilot would occasionally cheer us up by telling us at what altitude it would level out fully loaded on one engine.

It was about 2000 feet below ground level at Nairobi!

Not that he ever did lose an engine. Nearly took the fin off hitting a vulture though.
