The link below tells of how the Phoenix airport can be shut down down due to unsafe flying conditions created by air at high temperatures, look under the transportation heading.
Again, thank you for correcting my statement about how a variance in air temperature might have an effect on the performance of a vehicle, aerodynamically.

Bondo,
I've grown fairly accustomed to the taste of my own foot now,as I've stuck it in my mouth on many occasions.
I certainly got the jist of your comment and am working diligently on the precision of my own comments.
If I was as diligent and as scientific as Darin,I'd be out doing A-B-A tests year round,and knowing the difference the seasons make.
And until that time,I also,will be mindful.
Appreciate your input and encouragement,always,PK
