Hey, way to go Newbie & Family! 100 post on this thread!!!!
In the Sooner State, we dress in layers for winter flying. Recently we had temp around 38degrees F, with 15 to 25 mph winds, that made for wind chill of ummmm 15 degrees F-ish?? Sure enough, there were a half dozen of us out there. One family crew even brought out a portable catylyst heater to warm our hands on,,,, Made for some interesting flying,,,,Oh and a set of jersey gloves with the finger tips (index and thumb only) work wonders for keepin the digits workin. Still though , most of us only stayed up under 8 minutes,,,but in that cold it felt like much longer. Where theres a will, theres a way...
Oh and Wurzburg in 85 was particularly brutal during Reforger.
