Vieques Air Link in Puerto Rico, and the USVI still operates those birds. I would love to fly one, they look like a real kick in the crotch.

Thats some wicked Density Altitude.

145F now..with a Dewpoint of 138....heat index is over 300 degrees.

Is the weather shack on fire or something?

Also, that airplane needs a caption, something about being a DC-10 when it grows up or something like that.

Shoot, NOAA was saying it was -40 in Ocean City, MD earlier today. Wind chill of -57.

But it's overcast there, so it's a "cool" 48C. I think the fire at the weather station is probably the next best guess to an electronic gremlin in the system.

My problem with a tri or a centerline thrust airplane is that you can not tellif your rear engine is on fire.

some really good stories about that place. How about the guy (now furloughed MDA/US Air) who hit a passing car with the islander main gear while landing on rwy6.

Hmmm....Shoot me if my sarcasm detecter is completely inop...but checking area temperatures, it appears that this reporting system may have been set to report temperatures in Farenheit instead of Celsius....
