Saab,
A landing strip in the middle of a mountain does not constitute as an airport. Also, there are numerous (too many to count) airports in the world that are located over 6000 feet. The highest altitude commercial airport in the world is in Bangda, Tibet at an altitude of 14,219 feet(4,334 meters).

Thank you for pointing that out serendib,i had no idea that there were higher airports than 6000ft althought coming to think of it yes i remember hearing about that airport in Tibet.
Now maybe you should take this problem about this picture not being at an airport with Airliners.net as according to them this picture deserves to go under airport overviews.Personally i don't think anyone (except you)cares if this not technically at an airport as it is a great picture and as long as it keeps people posting on the forum then i don't give a damn!
GZYL yes it was Mt Mckinley.
