RE: Where Eagles Fly : Piedra River Pass ~ Flying Above the San Juan Mountains in the Colorado Rockies
You said you took the picture out the window in sub-zero temperatures... how do you stay warm? Do you have a heater blasting the whole time? Do you have to wear a puffy jacket (or two)?!
Good question. I have a heater in the forward firewall that separates the cockpit from the engine compartment. And there is a manifold ducting that surrounds the exhaust system which takes the heat generated by the engine and funnels it back into the cockpit. So it remains relatively warm. Plus I am dressed for it with the correct type of clothing and gloves. No puffy jacket though as that would be too cumbersome and restrictive for being able to twist around in the cockpit to take photos.
Good to know on the puffy jacket. At least the engine keeps you warm. Hopefully it doesn't funnel the exhaust back there too, or you could go loopy. Ha ha. :)
