Density at SeaTac was 102% of sea level standard day (density altitude = -706 feet).  Air wasn't thin.

Lately I have felt a distinct thickening in the air I breathe. Day to day. More and more.

Inadequate vorticity.  You know the cure.

  For some reason unknown to me the inboard wings had a tendency to come in at me during maneuvers. On the one plane I loaded up more tip weight & some of it went away. This plane hasn't done this in some time. Maybe Sunday would be a good day to talk it over.
