Wow, This thread has an amazing life! It has outlasted snow in Canada in February! It is supposed to rain and freezing rain today (so I'm not going flying!).

I think that when I'm feeling hot in the mid summer, I'm going to ask a question about flying in snow. The opportunity to read the many posts which will follow, should give me cool thoughts for weeks!

In the mean time, the weather is kinda yuccy here today.... Does anyone have any thoughts on the flying challenges on a clear blue day in the summer, when you can see forever, and the temperatures soar to, say, 25C? Do you take any special precautions with respect to the weather for your flight? Are their any health hazards associated with the coconut fumes of sunscreen in the cockpit, when flying with the door off?
