Icy Runways

The proper term is Solar System Warming. Pluto is getting
warmer as is Mars [permafrost has melted and flowing water
photographed recently], Comet McNaught was brightest in
recent decades, and the Mars Rovers are getting more power
than was expected. The Sun is just getting hotter.

Yes, but are polar bears drowning on Mars?

(I don't know what that means, but there it is)

It's not like I was waffling on the subject, or anything.

Right now the only place I could get enough traction to do a runup
would be in the hangar.

It turns out that that is not always a real good idea...

Not always? I don't know of any small GA hangars where it would
work:-)) I just said it was the only place I could get enough
traction, nothing abut the back wall and particularly the roof. It's
a really good way to get the roof closer to the ground so you don't
have to stretch so far to work on it, or for those afraid of heights.

It's not a good idea to start up even 50 feet away with the tail
pointed at the open hangar door.

Yep. Every year, about this time, we have to re-learn the "duck walk"
so that we don't kill ourselves on the ice...

I thought that walk was caused by age.

Ok, I can't resist. Then there was the time landing in MHT. Tower had
reported braking action poor. I landed an Arrow with the crosswind and was
sliding in the crab to maintain centerline with the winds.. I did not like
that. Got it straightened out before I hit a bare patch. Taxied in and
talked with the tower. The next aircraft in was a Delta DC-9 inbound on
the ILS. Tower Reports: "Braking action reported poor by a fuel truck,
Reported NIL by an Arrow.

And people wonder why I moved to the Desert SW.
Winds today, 20G40.

The Bo doesn't have trailing link gear. It's a standard strut like
you'd see on the nose of a 182.

Perhaps he was thinking of the Sundowner?

Thanks for the correction.
