Default When the whole sky takes a pause...

I got shot down by a solar eclipse in Colorado; Knew it was going to
happen, didn't put one plus one together with respect to the effect on
solar heating. *Predictable and rare.


that brings up an interesting question, are position lights required
to fly during a solar eclipse?
