  2. How many of the altiports are you aiming for, Daryl? You'll love it, being the adventurous lunatic that you are.

    Just remember thin air, warm temperatures and close to (ahem!) MTOW, be prepared to put in plenty of throttle on late final. It might not be necessary, of course. But hey!

    Good luck with the trip.

    Cheers, Mike
