 FACT: When "Dutch" is going on the practice bomb run he reports his  altitude as 43 000 feet. When planes are flying above 18 000 they  all set there altimeters to a pressure of 29.92 so they are flying  at pressure altitude. When flying this way, pilots report their  altitude as FLIGHT LEVEL xxx, where xxx is in hundreds. In this case  he would have reported FLIGHT LEVEL 430 instead of 43 000 feet.
