‘I have been amazed by how many TV shows have had mountains visible in the background of “Kansas”.’
The show ‘Pensacola, Wings of Gold’, had snow capped mountains in ‘Florida’.
Hollywood! I don’t live far from the base, and the elevation out there is around sea level. Highest point at N.A.S. has to be the old light house, which I believe is just under 200 feet elevation.
Highest area near Dodge City must be the bluff. I think “Little House on the Prairie” was also filmed in the same area they used for “Gunsmoke”. Both series were, topographically, a darn mess.
Don’t forget the SoCal hills and foliage in “Jericho”. Kansas indeed..........
