As my old skipper liked to rub in to us (he was a H-2 guy), the cool days of no/open door flying went away with the REAL HSL, (his terms)

Nope. All the avionics need ECS to keep em running happy. And if some cold air happens to leak on the crew, well, that's just bonus. Doors off would have been nice today with the OAT reading 38.

We didn't climb to an altitude, we climbed to an OAT. HAC on my first deployment: "We're gonna make it to 25 degrees or 10,000 feet, whichever comes first..."

That's nothing...just wait till the OAT is pegged..."Uh, according to NATOPS, we can't start the thing above 51 deg. C." (Bahrain, 3SEP05)

You better not start a 60 above that temp. Bad things will happen, trust me.

Maybe start them at night at that temp since solar loads add quite a bit.

hmm, Navy -60 pilot and a just graduated college grad trying to figure out if he wants to be in the Navy yet talking about a -60.

I'll take HH's word on this one.
