Michael Ruehmkorff submitted this photo and note: “I took this photo of our pressurized Centurion alone on the ramp in Telluride, Colorado, in May, 2024. Telluride is currently the highest commercially-served airport in North America at 9,070 feet MSL, and second only in elevation to Leadville, Colorado, which is 100 nm northeast at an elevation of 9,934 fleet. GA piston aircraft shorten the 6-1/2 hour drive from Denver to around 1-1/2 hours and makes enjoying a visit to Telluride for the day a real possibility.”

Beautiful picture …. I would add that landing at KTEX in a light, single engine, piston powered airplane is a bit of a risk. The P210 is pressurized and turbocharged, but in my view, even though it can fly there, it doesn’t mean it is safe to do it. The terrrain around KTEX is extremely rugged and there really is no safe place to land if the engine quits. Not trying to tell anyone what they should do, but if it was my airplane I wouldn’t have gone there!
