HOT

We have been stuck in this heat wave for so long now. I'm sooo tired of HOT! Its been triple digits for 4-5 weeks now. I really want to get busy with work, but at the same time flying in this weather is horrible. KSAT is 809 elevation. Yesterday at 1pm DA was 3500. We have been having 2500 DA early in the morning. I had a guy who called me for instruction last week, but he owned a 150. We would have spent a two hour lesson just climbing to altitude! I called a friend who is furloughed from an airline and asked him if he would like to work with him. This friend had offered to fly with with me when I was working on my commercial ticket. He was going to fly one trip with me for free! "Pay it forward" kinda thing. We are both members of the Jet Career forum which is big on networking. So, by offering to do something for me, it turned out to help him when he needed some help! That's what aviation is. I try to help others out too. maybe someday it will turn around and help me out!
Aviation is a small world. It is much better to have a good name, people ALWAYS remember the people who have bad attitudes!
Now If I could just find someone who has a great high performance plane with A/C...at least until late sept who need full time instruction! :-)

the 10 day for cast is calling for temps between 99 and 105 woo hoo!
