Rockhamton Downs and High oil temp

Just for the record.. Rockhampton downs 'airport'

Blasted Jabs... They just don't like hot weather. Rockhampton downs was in the high 30's today and blowing a 20kn wind. The trip out there from Tennant Creek took almost 1 1/2 hours this morning and just 30 mins back this afternoon.

The trip may have been faster but the oil temp was getting a little to high for my liking. Pressure Altitude managed to hit 8700' when I was just 2800' above see level. New record for myself.
Tomorrows weather is meant to be very similar so I will need to leave at the crack of dawn to make it to Mt Isa before the day gets hot.
