It made me think about what kind of engineering went into making the engines function at that temperature. Our commuter and bush planes operate on the ground at those temperatures. Gotta be careful with the piston engines. Once you get them going, you need to make sure you are where you want to be for the night because you can't shut them down. Turbos no big deal. Z

I'm guessing mine was around 30,000 ft back when I flew cross-country in a 707 back in the 1960's. My new airplane is still undergoing preflight testing so I'll have to get back to you later.
