It was quite cold and less humid. Lower-mid 60s I think (11.5c). Ground was mid 80s. With wind chill (you're sitting in 25mph) it can get bad without a wind breaker and sweater haha.
What part of the country you flying in? Out here itโs all boring plains and mega airports, so I donโt really have an opportunity to do something like this. Do you carry a transponder and radio?
