Gonna go get high in CO next month

Over Labor Day weekend, I'm going to land (and hopefully take off) from the highest elevation airport in the US in my private plane:

1. I knew it had to be something to do with your plane.

I still have an urge to do a road trip just for the thrill of a legal smoke, even though I rarely indulge at all anymore.

2. I may not need any

The airport elevation is already close to the legal altitude limit you can fly in a non-pressurized aircraft without supplemental oxygen. The higher the temperature, the greater the effect will be.

4. Was that you I saw in the little canard aircraft yesterday?

I'm on the flight path for the Cortez airport - don't usually get a lot of small planes, but that was pretty cool.

5. The closest I got to there was Salida

Which is about 150 miles northeast.
