There aren't too many airshows that are air conditioned and indoors. Being
outside is part of flying and working on airplanes.


That's another advantage of simulators.

The air show is worse: no air conditioning, and temperatures comparable to
those of Las Vegas at times, with much higher humidity and 16 hours of
daylight.


Translation: I'm too fat, lazy, and cheap to get off my ass and see one of
the world's largest airshows. Just more excuses.

It's not worth the inconveniences I've cited. And I'm not interested in
military hardware, which is all too distressingly apparent at the air show (it
reminds me of the movie _Lord of War_).

And the amount of daylight in the desert southwest US is less?

Las Vegas would welcome the humidity. That would mean a better
chance for rain and a cool breeze, as opposed to dry heat and hot
winds. Right now, we're lucky to have temps at 10pm at night *under*
37C.

Yes. The southwestern U.S. is at a much lower latitude, and so the length of
daylight in summar is shorter.

winds.


No. Humidity does not guarantee rain by any means, and it dramatically
reduces human tolerance for heat by limiting evaporation. You're better off
(or at least no worse off) in the dry heat of Las Vegas than in the wet heat
of some parts of the Deep South, although both locations are far too hot
and/or humid for comfort.

Right now, we're lucky to have temps at 10pm at night *under*
37C.


The desert is like that. At least there is air conditioning in the desert.
With no air conditioning, both heat and humidity can be deadly.

Of course he hasn't attended the show, just like he doesn't fly, have a job,
or a life. All he offers are excuses for why it's better to live in his
socially isolated imaginary environment.
