skippydiesel Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Quote ...........................................I am pretty sure the difference is obvious.............. Just making conversation - have never knowingly experienced sunburn when flying.- may be the old "spam cans" I used to fly and my current "bubble" all have UV perspex or could be that I fly in long sleeves/pants have my collar turned up and wear a hat.
facthunter Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 It's little difference from a car. I have a special sleeve that fits on either arm that's U/V blocking that I use when on long drives other wise the sunburn is grim.. Nev
skippydiesel Posted December 31, 2017 Posted December 31, 2017 Quote ............................ Thick.. I'm only fh, facthunter. NO capitals. . Nev sorry nev - my apologies for unwittingly showing more respect that you find comfortable (must be a mexican thing). Regarding the vehicle induced burnt arm syndrom - I have never been an advocate of "eggnitioning" so up until recently (acquired modern vehicle) drove with windows open - my right arm would often have a deeper tan than my left. Its early days, but I am getting used to the windows being up in the new vehicle and speculate that my right leaning tan will change to that of the left.
facthunter Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 If you have a bit of "Tropical living" ancestry it helps. Poor buggers from Northern Europe have less melanin and burn quicker. Nev
djpacro Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Quote I agree with your Wyoming observations but not your + 40 C Oz comment ..... Probably no disagreement, just a different situation. Yesterday in the mid-20s on the ground was the upper level of comfort for me in the PItts - wearing a light flying suit, big bubble over a tight cockpit with the two small air vents open wide; radiated heat from the six cylinder Lycoming through the firewall with nil insulation; passenger's feet just a few inches above the exhaust pipes.
M61A1 Posted January 1, 2018 Posted January 1, 2018 Quote I love people bagging Victoria's weather. Here we now have the biggest growth rate in Australia. Keep it UP. Don't come . We're full!!. You should get your premier to build a wall, that should keep all us northern neo-nazi right wing northern nuts away from your glorious weather.... 2
