I encountered the same issue in Atlanta. I thought about flying to
Falcon Field for the Great Georgia Air Show but someone who overheard
me saying that told me he waited for well over an hour in a hot
airplane burning fuel and engine time waiting his turn to take off to
leave. He said it seemed like a good idea but in retrospect he'd
never fly again unless his plane was part of an exhibit.
