I would rather not do the punch out part. I did make the mistake once of asking a class of PJs I was instructing why they would want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane...to which one PJ, a former aircraft maintenance, replied: "I was aircraft maintenance...there is no such thing as a perectly good airplane..."
I answered: I stand corrected

Last summer up to & thru Eisenhower Tunnel on I-70 in Colorado -- 11,158 ft with a 19' Bambi and a V-6...

Last 10 miles leading up to tunnel were about ~ 30 mph or so. Right about the max limit of what the truck is capable of doing.

WOW, you all have us beat! 9800 on the Big Horn, took a wrong turn somewhere! Without the Airstream; 52,000 ft. on my way to Rota Spain on the Over-The-Top route.

Yep...it usually is a slow go at the crest of the passes...especially if your TV is tuned up for the lower elevations!
