air conditioning- nice, required, or silly?
I think the power/useful load/cost trade-off doesn't make sense for
most situations, including NOrtheeastern summers and single-engine
pistons. Also, many of the planes that offer AC as an option can be and
are flown high, so heat isn't an issue for long anyway. But, as always,
it's a question of what your mission is.
