Kansas IS Flatter than a pancake!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Kansas really is flatter than a pancake, U.S. geographers reported on Monday.

As I recall from my flying days, Kansas City KS is at about 850-900 feet above sea level, Wichita KS is at about 1350-1400 feet, and the western edge of KS is at about (a nose-bleed inducing) 2000-2200 feet!
