Glad you caught it,Steve.  Air in the cooling system can sneak up on you if
you are not watching the temperature carefully.  I had more than one
opportunity( before I learned to burp the engine) to listen to the
snap,crackle and pop of an overheated engine as it cooled. Did you happen to
notice your oil temps?  With cooling not doing its job the oil temp may have
been up as well carrying some of the heat load.
