Ed, I see a few problems with what you are saying. If you are in Leadville at 9000 feet, you must be at the bottom of a mine shift. Leadville is just a little over 10,000. Next, if it ever got to 95 degree there most of the locals would die (85 is hot), and I not sure an F-16 would get off the ground at 95 degrees on their 6,500 ft runway. Sorry--could let it go. You are right. I rotate at 65 no matter what the density altitude.
