Roll Call: 170 base airport elevation?

Post by Vertical »

I'm wondering what elevation everyone is based at. Mostly I'm interested in what the qty of planes vs base altitude curve looks like. I'm guessing that it will be strongly favoring lower elevations. Not sure enough folks will reply for good data, but curious nonetheless.

I”d bet that if you took this poll of ALL makes/models of aircraft that lower elevations will prevail. Don’t know what result you’re hoping for.
