It’s officially HOT!!!
Went down to Acitrezza to check on a boat, it was a ‘balmy’ 99 down on the coast with a light cooling breeze, so it only felt like 103…
Back up to where we are staying, the temps were a ‘warm’ 102 with a heat index of 110, and 20 kt breeze… I now know what a convection oven feels like… sigh…
Went back to get in the car and run to lunch, the interior temp was 53C, which equated to 127F! And it’s not even ‘really’ hot yet!!!
Just for S&Gs ran a density altitude profile for the location at 284ft above sea level, turns out the DA is over 3500 feet!
Sorry for the lack of posting and commenting, connectivity is lousy even when it’s up; which is about half the time. I’m doing this on my lunchbreak, since there is actually an open terminal.
Back to the oriface… y’all have a good weekend!
With a DA like that, even birds have trouble getting air-borne.
Skul
Huh. Okay, I won’t complain about it being 53F, cloudy and drizzling off and on when there’s supposed to be an Air Fair.
Take care of yourself, and stay hydrated!
My first cross country I tried to put a Tri Pacer down at McCarrin with a runway temp of 150+. After the go around the tower told me to “fly it down”.
Not much air there in the summer.
Skul- The birds were walkin…
Wing- Trade ya! 🙂 Hope the show goes well!
Skip- That is true! sad… but TRUE! Hell, Nellis wasn’t fun in a P-3 in the summer!
Haven’t heard that expression in years! S &G’s indeed! someone is sure to ask, “what it is dude”?
S**ts and Giggles… 🙂
