Given a choice of two evils, I'll take the hot. We fly in January as well -- but I suspect that it is quite different from your January flying. Flight duration is limited by MTBF (Mean Time Between Frostbites)


Yes, I image it is quite different. You have to remember that 2" of snow will close schools here. 25° is too damn cold to go outside!!!

Tough guys eh? Our New Years Day Funfly often takes place at MINUS 25 [X(], with a refreshing breeze to add spice. We often use seaplanes instead of bothering with skiis. My Seamaster is a killer snowbird, but I also have a purpose-built "snow goose" aerobat for those refreshing occasions when visibility rises to half a mile & I just can't stay away from the fun.
