In the Anchorage Daily News is a photo of a UH-60 on the summit of Mount Foraker (17,400').

Think of the heliski possibilities with a UH-60.
But, it would suck to pay for the gas, for that big a machine.

:cool:
but I wouldn't want to be coming in to the LZ with your fingers crossed.
It had to be one confident pilot with huavos mas grande!
No kidding!
I wonder if they did anything special to get it up there.
UH-60 Service Ceiling (ISA day) 19,1510 ft
Hover Ceiling MRP-OGE
95°F 7,650 ft
70°F 9,375 ft
Standard Day 11,125 ft
Sure looks like it would...
Sweet, someday I'll be up there someday.....
I remember about 2-3 years ago one of those was trying to rescue some climbers out in Washington. At about 14K it spun out of control and tumbled down the mountain.
