i wasn't there for 123, but i was playing flag football in 1993 when it hit 122 and they had to shut down sky harbor airport.

this weekend was beautiful. 110-113 degrees. i was never more than 15 feet from my swimming pool or a margarita.

this weekend was brutal. with the heat and other things. on one flight that i had sunday, i lost my vacuum pump which powers the artificial horizon and heading indicator. thank god i was in visual conditions. helluva learning experience though. i got to see first hand how the instruments react when they loose the pump. i remember looking down at the AH and it was telling me i was in a dive when in fact i wasn't. heading was way off too so i looked over at the suction guage and it read zilch.

then last night i had a sight seeing flight for fireworks, lost my panel lights, had numerous bogeys in the sky and had to deal with every redneck on that side of town shooting wannabe sam's at me. (at least it seemed that way). shheesh, it was a long night. on the bright side, the 3 major shows were spectacular!

Me three. September to December is my season. June's okay too. But screw this sweating business.

Bullhead City, AZ. Where I went to high school.
Consistantly records hottest place in Arizona (along with Havasu).

High school ditch day involved foil, frozen pizzas, big coolers filled with icy refreshments and the Colorado River, which varies 5 degrees from 52.

125+ temps plus 52 degree water plus instant immersion = shock

The pizza was good tho.

I recall the thermometer on my porch getting stuck at 126 one day. Broke the thermometer.

"But it's a dry heat".

Broiled or Braised, you're still cooked.

I'm told that much heat affects the brain. :eyebrow:

whimps! alright... today it's rather pleasant for Kansas in July... but we ought to be hitting the 100+ mark which isn't so bad.. it's the 98% huimidity that can be a little much.. then again I work in a kitchen, where I fully expect it to break the 120 degree mark.. soon.. then again I try to think positively about it.. some people PAY to go into saunas.. me? I get paid for it.. now where did I put that bodyfat. . .

I like the birds. Do the pictures correspond to the numbers? Like, that's the temperature that species dies at? :lol:

Well---it's getting up there. We're supposed to hit 95 and feel like 110 due to humidity. It's miserable--can't even go outside. Whew! Staying indoors where the
A/C breathes that cool, cool air, eating popsicles.

plthijinx 07-24-2005 12:17 PM

i'm getting ready to go to the airport and we have an afternoon forecast of 95 with a heat index of 106. and it's humid. today shall suck moving planes around the ramp. sounds like we almost have the same forecast Bri....
