«En un Rans Coyote S6 Taildragger con matrícula HCU0089 … from the Laicas Farm a grass track of 305 meters long and 5 meters wide located at 8891 meters above sea level…»
Dear Nicholas, good day, very interesting report on the journey of these intrepid knights of the air. Apparently there is an error in the unit of measurement with which the height at which the Laicas Farm is located is indicated?, surely it will be feet instead of meters, otherwise we would be indicating that it is located higher than Chimborazo (6263 m s.n.m) and Everest himself (8848 m s.n.m.).
Thanks Mark, indeed the second measurement should be in feet, fixed up.
