yeah, but hauling fuel around running from airplane to airplane sucks! it was over 100 yesterday and i bet it gets there today. not to mention the thermal turbulance up there right now. it's just not comfortable.

melidasaur · 07-02-2005, 04:13 PM

It's fantastic in my part of the country... low 80s, little humidity, nice breeze. We suffered the hot crap last week. I hate hot weather, I hate summer... and I read in a magazine that you can get Seasonal Affective Disorder in summer... I think I may have it. if fall and winter could hurry up, I'd be much happier.

93,000,000 miles away and it's still uncomfortably warm ...

77°F, 47% humidity.

When, oh when, will winter finally arrive?

*GASP* I never knew anyone else who felt that way but me! Summer in the friggin' valley that is Ohio sucks. It's too hot to even GO OUT from noon to six! It's like winter only you feel guilty for not going outdoors to "enjoy" the weather.

If it's 97 on official temp, what is it on the runways and aprons?

plthijinx · 07-02-2005, 09:16 PM

about 105. i seriously worked my ass off today running around this tiny, overcrowded ramp. i'll try and remember to bring my camera as to show the ramp/area that i operate, for free mind you, well actually i get free airtime. oh, actually if you look quickly at the end of the take off run in the take off run video from the yak attack thread you can see our ramp just before we go almost verticle....but i'll grab a pic anyway......

oh, .MOV on that file link, and kinda big too.

Careful, you might get Lookout and I talking about what it takes to live through the summer in Phoenix! Anything under 110 is doable, after that requires more extreme measures. Look', were you there in the summer of either 1988 or '89 I think it was, when we hit 123? I'm still sorry I didn't buy one of the T-shirts from that event.
