Mountain Top Airports
In another thread Vlad is asking how many Islands have you landed in your RV. How about show us how many mountain top airports have you landed.
24A, Jackson County, NC, 2,857'
KSEZ, Sodena, AZ, 4,830'
KAVX, Catalina Island, 1,602'
KJFZ, Tazewell, VA, 2,653'
KHSP, Hot Springs, VA, at 3,793' the highest public airport east of Mississippi. I was making a low approach before departure.
6L4, Logan, WV, 1,666'

Not my pic - but Calaveras County - Maury Rasmussen Field - inthe California Gold Country, Sierra foothills would probably qualify.

Highest Airport East of the Mississippi
It's Mountainair (2NCO) near Burnsville, NC at 4400 feet. It's a private strip for mountaintop development that includes a private golf club. Some of the most spectacular views in the country.

I've flown over a picturesque mountain top airport in CT. Listed as private wish I could land there.

It is higher than Ingalls Field at Hot Spring. In their terminal building Ingalls field claims that it is the highest airport east of Mississippi. May be it is the highest PUBLIC airport east of Mississippi. I did fly over Mountainair a few times. It is beautiful.

Ted, did you get Grundy (KGDY 2,304) when you were landing at Tazewell and Hot Springs?
My wife asked the airport manager at Tazewell how they got identifier KJFZ. His name is Jerry McReynolds. He said he submitted the typical things like KTAZ, but the government insisted on one more so he added "KJFZ" for "Jerry's F&@$/! Zoo" as a joke. Of course, that is what was assigned.
