Default Cold is Good!

Oh, and by the way, despite the incredible weather, there were no other

turn on their pre-heaters after they get to the airport. That just leaves
more sky for those of us with pre-heaters.


Yes, with a hangar and preheater winter flying is great. Only downsides
are that the Cherokee rear seat doesn't get much heat and sometimes
it's inconvenient to plug in at a cross country destination. Over at
Richmond Indiana they actually have a bank of electrical outlets at the
edge of the ramp.
