(KSFB) I had some issues with engine cooling so I limited it to only one time around the patch and landed. I got delayed holding short for takeoff and the engine temp was higher than I would have liked before takeoff. It was about 205 as I took the active. The temp got to 225 as I came around the pattern, so I decided to land after the first pass. The temp as I departed the active after landing was already down to about 216. The wind was a little difficult. The takeoff and landing was on 9L and the wind was 170 at 12 Knots Gusting 20! Not exactly 90 degrees, but close enough for government work. Not the prettiest landing I ever made but not too bad! Bill Bradburry N249B
