Taking a Piper Cherokee 180 up for a couple of hours of practice time.
Fly the local pattern, do some touch and goes, fly over local landmarks,
etc. Winds are light at 11, couldn't ask for a more clear day!

It is 29*F. At a loss of 3*F per 1000 feet of altitude, I wouldn't
ascend too high.

No chance of icing, humidity is very low. The Cherokee has decent heat.

I remember a plane ride I took a number of years ago. It was in a B-50
with supercharged engines. Me and 8 of my friends took a flight up to
18,500 in about 14 minutes. We opened the door, it was a cloth door, and
we exited the plane. If was freaking cold, something like -30 or =35 at
altitude.

I'm staying in the plane!
