@ai6yr @BakerRL75 Wow.
They're really going to need to start cancelling events like airshows when the temperature is over 95°F or so; between the sun, lack of shade, asphalt, etc, that's a really dangerous event to have in that kind of heat.

@unlambda @ai6yr @BakerRL75 Heh. I actually passed out once at an airshow in Stockton (teen years) because of the effing heat.

@unlambda @ai6yr @BakerRL75 heat was the rumored contributer to the f86 crash at an air show in Broomfield, CO years ago. It was hotter than forecast and you dont get as much lift, so he started a maneuver too low. https://planecrashmap.com/plane/co/N86EX
