Na, it isn't so bad if you change to winter air.

Use helium, it's lighter than air. For hot landings use hydrogen. For

painless
takeoffs and landings use ether.

For high performance planes, to get more power, use nitrous oxide.

To keep from ground looping, half fill with a very salty water solution.

That's even worse as winter air is much colder and thus denser and,
therefore, is even heavier than summer air! :-) Now if you used
hydrogen, you'd have no problem ... until you let off some pressure
while smoking...
