Cool Too hot for Hot Wings.

40 degrees C in the flight deck on the ground at LHR the other day - 744 with the APU u/s. Any higher bidders?

52C when the Aircon in the core server room failed at my place of work yesterday. I had to go in and shut all the servers, routers & switches etc down. Drank a litre and a half straight off just after leaving the room.

It's always entertaining to watch the "Pointy One" struggle in to the sky on a hot day.......and set off all the car alarms in car rental car-parks.

And it's never too hot for hot wings........a nice jug o' beer always helps.

44? That's it?

Why here in texas it's 98 degrees. More than double!

And those are Texas degrees which are all a little bit bigger than normal ones.

A parked up helicopter in Africa? I'd be lying if I said I knew, but vastly hotter than the 42' oat. 65 or more probably. All I know is it was literally like a sauna. If you didn't drape a towel over the stick you couldn't hold it.
