You are correct, Dave.

    I found that things that cooled well on the ground sucked in the air and
vice versa, best explanation I have is the flow dynamics apparently change
when you greatly increase the airflow velcocity.  The other explanation is
that short duration run ups on the ground benefit from the thermal inertia?
The engine, coolant, etc., may  not have really had time to reach
equilibrium - in the air the continuos heat load quickly reaches equilibrium
which may result in higher temps than observed on the ground.
