When you climb to the top of Mt. Everest, the air pressure is about 1/3 of what it is at sea level even though you're standing on the ground.

Yeah, you make a very good point. Fortunately the blast radius of my scientific hubris is limited to whatever code I manage to deploy to the internet, and I'm not involved in designing or building aircraft.

btw: Aren't you the guy who tracks planes flying in circles? I follow you on Twitter. Such a cool project!
