and it looks like Chino is a hot and dry place on a summer day, ie 80-90-100 degrees.
Do any of the planes we saw have air conditioning?
If yes, how well does it work?
If no, is there any altitude or airspeed that makes the interior comfortable or is it always hot inside the cockpit?
Yes, it is at Chino and yes it was very hot. As far as I know none of the warbirds have any type of A/C other than opening the canopy. At the altitude they were flying for the show they weren’t getting much in the way of cool air, plus with the flight suits and parachutes they're pretty drenched by the end of the flight. Plus, with the canopies closed it's like sitting in a very hot green house....... but if I had the chance, I’d do it all day long.
