Well it hit 106 or 109 today and it's still humid from the recent monsoon rains. At MCAS Yuma -- where I built my last engine many years ago -- they flew the blackball flag from the control tower under these atomspheric criteria and all flight line work stopped. So I'm not surprised when my good buddy called to tell me his landlady was on his back to cut up a fallen tree in his backyard and he couldn't come out to my shaded carport to pull an sm 465 on the day shift... So I'm kinda stuck until I can wrangle a new crew for an XMSN extraction.
