I'm tellin' ya, the very best flying is in winter!


Easy for you to say - *your* plane has a decent heater.


Maules don't, I take it?


The 160 hp models, at least, have lousy heat. If the temp is below freezing, I
wear insulated boots, hunting bibs, my usual leather coat, and deerskin gloves.
With all that on, it's a real exercise getting the flaps into the -7 degree
notch.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."
