Wow, that would be awesome. In winter here in PA, it's dark by 4:30. In the summer, I'm getting my final RC plane flight in just before the sun disappears at almost 9 pm. Just about a 4.5 hour difference.
We also don't have much of a dusk. The sun is in the sky and it's light, and 5 minutes later, it drops below the mountain horizon and it's dark.
