I worked as a line monkey at the local airport for a couple years, and I remember this place; our FBO got a lot of private jet traffic, and one summer we had a very *strict* request for as little fuel as possible and a thorough wipedown of the windshields, nose, and wings. Talking to the pilot, he was going in to Eagle County in the afternoon, and the "high and hot" conditions were so bad he was trying to drop every bit of drag and ounce of weight he could, as in like "I skipped lunch to be on the safe side", and he was only half-joking.

"This is probably a stupid question, but . . ."
