Phew, I think I finally stopped sweating.
We hit an official 105 and that was the real temp, the heat index was 300 or so. Well, ok maybe just 115, but crazy hot. I am very happy that some engineer at Cessna decided that a 172 should have wings at the top of the fuselage. It does provide nice shade for getting the pre-flight done, and the equipment setup. Once we got to full flight altitude it really cooled off and felt a lot better and it was still 88 degrees. When 88 and humid feels much better, it is messed up hot.
As we came back to land it was like coming into a furnace. Then refueling the airplane was brutal. We like to top it off after each flight so we can just check it and get going on the next flight. Golly flying is fun.
