North America's Highest Airport: Landing in Leadville

#SlowVideo
A morning flight over the Continental Divide to land in Leadville, Colorado at Lake County Airport, the highest paved public airport in North America at 9934' above sea level. There was a big surprise in store...
Highlights:
- Full flight, startup to shutdown.
- Several crossings of the Continental Divide
- Six of Colorado's famous ski areas on the last weekend of spring skiing for some.
- Low pass over the Climax Molybdenum Mine
- Landing in Leadville.
- Engines won't go to idle?!! High power landing and taxi in.

Nice vid

Nice Video Steve, great images. What camera are you using ? Fly safe.

[@SteveZimmermannAtHome]

Thanks. This was shot with a single, fixed GoPro Max 360. All ‘panning and zooming’ is done in post-processing.

[@clintwestwood2731]

I just need one answer, how do you afford this plane?

[@matthewvisnaw4306]

Well, the variable costs are certainly more affordable than most....

Is there anything to do in Leadville?

[@danieljurado7461]

What camera and mount are you using

[@SteveZimmermannAtHome]

NFlightCam ball mount and GoPro MAX

[@rokalefi]

@@SteveZimmermannAtHome and where did you mount the GoPro?

[@billywaters3524]

I prefer to see the instrument panel ....instead of 10 minutes of your front landing gear. If it lasts 15 minutes, I am out of here.

[@SteveZimmermannAtHome]

Sure, I get where you’re coming from. But I’m making #SlowVideo here of an entire flight, featuring landscapes and aircraft exteriors, not ATC cockpit recordings. Feel free to scrub past the ‘boring’ bits. Different strokes…

FAKE- All done by computer - FAKE

[@TM-vn3du]

Why do you say fake?? Please explain your reasoning. (By the way, it was in fact, a real flight).

[@SteveZimmermannAtHome]

Definitely not faked in any way.
