This package region covers Denver, the capital of Colorado which is also nicknamed Mile-High City because its elevation is one mile. The sixth runway (16R/34L) of Denver Int'l Airport is the longest commercial runway in the US with a length of 16,000 feet. This allows fully loaded B747's to take off in Denver's mile-high altitude during hot summer days, when density altitudes can approach 9000 feet. The airport's distinctive white tent-like fabric roof is designed to be reminiscent of the snow-covered peaks of the Rocky Mountains which you can see on approach or departure. Other important airports covered by this region are Centennial Airport (KAPA), Buckley AFB (KBKF) and Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport (KBJC). Provides another 3500 sq km in 4.7 m/pix quality.
