    Middlesboro (1A6), KY

    May 31, 2016 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Flight time 0.3 hour.
    Unplanned stop.

    About ten minutes after Jacksboro, the engine began to run rough and have less power. I quickly decided to land at at the nearest airport, Middlesboro KY. Took off the cowlings and made sure the spark plug leads were tight. A ground test at max rpm followed by a flight test around the airport was satisfactory so I returned to the intended route.

    It was extremely hot and humid both here and at Jacksboro. Although temperatures were less than I saw in Arizona, humidity was high so the effective temperature was more extreme.

    The humidity induced haze, persisting throughout the day, is evident in the photos.
