[GH85Carrera]

Morning all. I chatted with my partner last night. He had a long day. They have a dozen Cessna aircraft and even more pilots. My partner is a pilot and even a instructor but right now he is just the laptop operator and and he is teaching the pilot how to fly the missions and "mow the yard" in the sky. Today Trump comes to Florida so flight restrictions will pop up all over the state. The other pilots are sleeping two to a room in a motel. One motel has electricity, but no water and the other has water but no electricity.

My partner is staying at my wife's aunt and uncles place so sleeping in an air conditioned home with a shower he is living like a king.

He gets up and dawn and to the airport withing an hour of sunrise. They fly all day and he trained two different pilots yesterday. Our camera system is getting a good workout.

The funniest part is my partner shows up to work ready for the oppressive heat. The airport is mostly without power and closed to normal traffic. FEMA gives them permission to fly only because it is critical communication repair work they are doing. Anyway he shows up in a t-shirt with the collar and sleeves ripped out and gym shorts with clod hopper boots because he did not know what conditions he would have to walk around in. He is dressed VERY casual and trying to stay cool. One of the pilots is 70, and dressed in full jeans and a black long sleeve shirt and most of them are in company shirts and long pants. He is betting some may well be more laid back today. 98 degrees in 90% humidity is not a time for formal wear.
