The official National Weather Service temperature at midafternoon when this Growler departed was 93 degrees, but it was up into triple digits out there on the open airport grounds -- and it was way, waaaay up into triple digits a few seconds after "Vampire One One" went blistering past with burners lit. The pilot was super - as he was taxiing out and I was snapping pics from just a few feet away, he and I exchanged waves and I rendered a fast salute -- which he returned -- and moments later, as he went airborne past me here, he waved once more -- with a wing waggle.
