About 30 years ago, when I was too young to know better, I went skiing in
temps of about 30 below. Now, at 51, there is nothing in the world that could get me to go out in that weather - even gliding at FL300, as wonderful as that seems. Michael "Thomas Borchert" wrote in message ... Michael, st have been pretty cold up there in a glider. You bet! If you want, I'll e-mail a photo of the panel showing minus 40 degrees centigrade - and of me in a thermo suit with moon boots. It's not that bad where the sun shines on you through that big canopy, but my feet were nearly frozen after two hours of flying. Some people who do this regularly have electric thermopads in their boots. -- Thomas Borchert (EDDH)
