Some field! Do you have the same regulation in the US as in NZ
regarding oxygen masks? We have to wear them if we fly over 10,000
feet which means that a circuit at that field would require a mask to
be worn.
I imagine that even with the Europa's short field takeoff, a 914 and
all the flap it has then a takeoff at 9100 feet on a hot day could be
an interesting event.
