Just wondering if anyone besides me thinks that flying in the heat of OEF & OIF is more demanding than normal. Many cockpits (fighters, transport, AH64, AH1) are climate controlled so no issue for those guys. However, those of us low level in H60 & OH58D contend with cockpit heat well above our core body temperature. Do you find that heat distracting and/or potentially hazardous? What do you do to deal with it (suck it up, doors off, etc.). I'd be courious, because I'm suspecting that some rookie mistakes made by senior pilots might be the result of the distraction caused by the extreme heat and dust. Any input is welcomed. thanks.
