My dad is a retired Air Force cargo pilot. He was stuck in the Philippines for several days because his C-124 was full of mattresses. They ran the numbers and it was too hot and humid for several days. There was big pressure from command to get the mattresses delivered.
When the calculations finally came in right at the edge of go-no-go they decided to go for it. The field was flat and right at sea level with nothing but sugar cane fields around it. He said they still mowed down the top of a lot of sugar cane.
