What the heck is THAT???

I was flying the DC-3 up from Little Rock toward Memphis, TN, at 5,000' MSL, when there began to appear in the distance a large, flat-topped land mass, something like the mesas of the American Southwest. It lies south of Memphis Intl. Airport. When I flew over the top of this "thing" rising uncharacteristically out of the otherwise flat terrain of that area, it looked like a high, flat plateau with 45-degree sides -- or a low mountain with the top sawed off. What the heck is THAT?

>Whats the co-ordinates, cant find it.

Take off on Memphis International R27 and turn left to 180. You'll see it looming in front of you. Since I posted this, I see where it's not a new discovery. In fact, there is supposed to be a fix (elevfix.zip) in the file library.

Anthony, that particular piece of hallowed ground is called "Nahner Samitch Mountain" purported burial site of fat Elvis. Ever one in these here parts knows that.

You think thats cool? Fly towards Hope, AR and see the 'Clinton Canyon' and its waterfall.

We've covered this pretty well if you'll do a search of the forum
for Hope, Tunica, or Memphis.

I would insert my own BIG BUTTe joke but I'm afraid I would get CANNED from this here forum.

How much more mileage you think we're gonna get out of poor ole E and his burial site?
