But flying in heavy rain cleans the bugs off the leading edges of stuff.

  Ah the pleasures of flying an unpressurized aircraft .   .    .
  Any unpressurized aircraft leaks and leaks quite a bit. Its a distraction 
  flying in heavy rain
  on final approach and having water constantly dripping  and bouncing off of 
  your head.  :-)
  Leaks in the avionics bays were always a problem.

  One advanatage of pressurization is that it keeps the water out. But then 
  you have the "howling"
  air leaks, often we used wet paper towels to plug the holes and then they 
  would freeze in place   plugging the
  leak, The C-5A main entrance door often took a whole pack of towels to plug 
  the leaks.
