Hi fellow RVers.
Today, May 15th, I lended my RV8A 4X-OAA, with some other friends on the lowest airfield in the world!
This airfield LLMZ (Metzada - a jewish well known history site) is just on the shore of the Dead Sea (in Hebrew: "Yam Hamelach"), 1200ft below sea level.
The temperature today was "not so high" - only 35 degrees C (In the summer time it can reach 45 degrees!).

In the winter I routinely land below -1200 ft (density altitude). Pretty cool landing at actual -1200 ft.
 
Thank you! It would be a great trip!

תודה רבה לך. אחי טס לשם בשנה שעברה ב- C-172 שכור. עכשיו גם אני רוצה לנסות את זה. אחרי זה אני אטפס על מצדה

עכשיו, אתה מוזמן לעשות זאת בעצמך!
תקבל ממני ומאחרים את כל הסיוע שתידרש לצורך זה (ותידרש להרבה סיוע מהרשויות כאן, בארץ! - אבל, אל תתרגם את זה לאחריםhttp://www.vansairforce.com/community/images/smilies/redface.gif)
