My dad tells the story of sitting in the Philippines for several days waiting for the weather to cool off. He was the pilot of a C-124 that was full of mattresses and it was so hot and humid the cargo load and runway length would not allow for takeoff.
When the numbers finally got to marginal they left very early in the morning. He said they still mowed down about 1/2 a mile of the tops of a sugar cane field.
