"Sweaters are more of a rumor than a reality in Phoenix."
Have you ever actually spent a winter in Phoenix?
Lots of sweaters, especially when it drops down to a chilly 50F or
so...
Love watching those puppies fighting...

Google gives you lat/long, you just need to know where to look for it :-)

I'm not exactly familiar with icelandic, so I couldn't comment on the
language.

I wonder how many people here are involved in ownership of an airplane
because the out-of-pocket expense is less than renting?
I certainly don't think it is less expensive to own rather than rent a
machine like our very well-maintained IFR C172N. I know I'm paying more for
the privilege of flying the same airplane all of the time when I fly and I
freely admit to sometimes going out flying just because I can do so quite
easily. It is important to me to know ALL of the other pilots who are
flying her and how they care for her.
I suppose the question for me isn't "is it cheaper to own?" but "what is the
value of owning?". For me the value is sufficient to push me over the
threshold of the ownership decision. How about you?
