g
it it the top of my tent.

If it's muggy all night, I might
just blast off and fly my homebuilt somewhere and get an air
conditioned hotel room.


Gotta leave by 19:00, so you have to decide well before then. Also, you
might arrive the next day, to find that the field is full. I wouldn't
risk
it, if it were me, for the seldom problem of not cooling off at night.


Do they close the airport to departues at 19:00? or is that just how
soon to leave to get somewhere else before dark?

that woud be a bummer if one left by air, to go to a hotel, then
couldn't get back in to the fly-in. But I don't think I'll have that
problem, being in a homebuilt/showplane. They usually want all those
they can get. And mine qualifies for that front and center parking
area they've reserved for past champions, and those with over a
thousand hours total time. Mine has about 1,650.
