The answer to the Texas summer is to fly a Grumman g... on the ground
you can slide the canopy back all the way and really feel the fan blow.

At Compton Abbas the other week I moved my plane from the
fuel pumps with the canopy open and no headset on. It was about
1 or 2 degrees (C). I couldn't feel my ears by the time I shut down!

In the air you can slide the canopy back 6" or so (legal to do) and let
the 125mph slipsteam cool you down nicely.

Is that noisy? I can do that in my Bulldog but haven't plucked up
the courage in normal UK weather to open it yet. :-)
