  How much runway would you say you ate up on that takeoff and was it in the morning, or do you remember the density altitude?

    Laramie Regional, (LAR), 7284 msl.  I've got about 190 horsepower with a fixed pitch cruise prop.  We were close to max gross with my wife and luggage and fuel.  The runway is 8500 feet.  All I remember is that it took awhile to get off the ground and I wasn't climbing very fast once we did get off the ground.

      I'm heading  back out west next week in my STD-RG, with it's normally aspirated 200 HP lycoming.  One of the places we'll be visiting is Pagosa Springs, Colorado (elevation 7664 feet - yeow!).  

      I've been into Santa Fe a few times (elevation 6348 feet) with  no significant scary departures, but, wow... 7600+ seems mighty high to this flatlander....

      So, what's the highest elevation airport you've been into?  Please include your aircraft & engine for comparisons....

      Thanks!
