9*6072 feet is a little higher than most of us fly.

Think that this is the realm of U2 and SR71 pilots only....

Now about the one mile high club... :) :)

I feel we are now driffting away from the original topic.....come on....there is not a lot of room in a Cessna 210...or is there enough.

Blue Line:

Actually, it's 6076.something feet per NM, often rounded to 6076 or 6080 or 6000.

Yes there is enough room in a C210, provided your partner is not 6 foot tall as well. ;)

Autopilots are useful, just be careful you don't hit the disengage button as you climax. It tends to ruin the moment. Apparently. :cool:

OH BTW, it is easier if there are no passengers in the middle row so you can slide the front seats back as far back as they go. :)
