Back in the eighties when I was working on that side of the world we were told an urgently needed spare part for a satellite ground station couldnt be delivered as promised because the part was made in Az and the aircraft it was on could not be pushed back from a freight stand because the tarmac was too soft in the heatwave they were having.
never really did find out if it was true or an innovative excuse from the shipper, it certainly was reportedly extremely hot there though.
This thread has made the mainstream news of course with the idea that planes cannot fly when its hot when the truth of course is more along the lines of Network Rails expanding rails when the trains have to run slower.
