I'm up early today so I can preheat for my lazy students, and I decided to check the density altitude at my airport. -4500 feet! I'm pretty excited to fly now! This should be fun!

You preheat for your students? You rock! Lucky students gettin' to sleep in. :P
 
Pffft, -6100 feet out here on Thursday.

It would have been fun to see how high you could get a 152, but I didn't think it was worth preflighting and starting in a -38 degree windchill....

God I hate the winter...
 
-5172 Ft here in NH

Ohh yeah! Too bad yesterday was my last day as a CFI! I'd love to go out in the cold and fly today!

Left the low paying world of a full time CFI to go back to the high paying nuclear world...

I'm moving to Ohio tomorrow and starting my new job Tuesday.

Had a great time instructing, but with a wife and 3 kids... not financially prudent (especially since my wife lost her job here in NH).

As far as I can see there isn't much in the way of flying in southern OH (Waverly area), so I guess I'll have to start up the action there!

You were a Navy nuke guy as well weren't you? Gov't contracting ??
 
Yep, 15 year Navy Nuke... then steel worker... then full time CFI... now back to nuclear power (sorta). I guess you can say I've had career ADD for the last year and a half or so...

Nope, not government contracting. I took a position as a shift supervisor, making light uranium from heavy uranium... enriching the fuel for commercial nuclear power plants.

I'm in a position that I need whatever money I can get...If its the difference between me having to go and pre heat or the students canceling, I have to go with the cash...

In his defense, he was there 20 minutes after I arrived, but as a good CFI, I expect my little birds to screw something up....:D
 
I was showing a student today how to do DA. I had to do a double take as I didn't think i read the DA properly when i saw -3500FT. -16*C will do that with a high pressure system just leaving the area.

It was fun flying in it (especially in a PA28-140) but we flew into an unforecast line of snow and had to head back home. The briefer said the snow was all the way in NW Ohio. Liars! :panic:
 
+6240 feet where I flew out today(KBJC). Nice, sunny, 55 degree day in denver today with no wind all the way down to pueblo and back. Took some pics, so I will load them when i get the chance.
