Red Button

Air re-circulation, used when very outside temp is very cold or hot, should go off in about 15 minutes.

well I was hoping I could just load that and the back up and just send them all for a flight. Guess one at a time will have to work.

In a helicopter

it makes the blades spin and spin and spin...

Maybe, folks who were seeing 'black helicopters' misunderstood and meant to say 'blackHAWK helicopters...?'

--nah, just a good natured ribbing. BUT I DO suggest the Jerry Clower comedy routine on "THAT VOLKSWAGEN CAR"

what does this button do???

They are correct ... That is your "Recirculation" flap control ..manual..
It will set the flap door to 100% recirculation for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes ...Even with the cooling on "Max" you will only achieve
80% recirculate / 20% fresh air.

It's nice to know that the "Black Helicopters" are not just a local phenomena here in central West Virginia....whew, for awhile there I thought Sen Robert Byrd had somethin' to do with them.....
