You ain't kidding about the winds. They were from 250 when I was planning at
around 3 o'clock - by 3:30 they'd spun round to 200. Statrted double
checking my planning when it was obvious we were heading northwest instead
of northeast. 138 kts out - 78 kts back. Ouch.

Ya, ya, ya, they're slow! :-) (I felt like I was damn-near friggin
hovering on the way back into Milwaukee today from Appleton, with winds
190 around 45 knots. GPS said 65 knots groundspeed tho.)

you know, I once heard a guy who said he saw a 152 actually hover over
the
runway.
kinda windy day, the guy cut power to land and the plane kinda just
hovered
there.

on windy days, there is this 152 up at my airport, the thing looks like
a
kite flapping around on its tiedowns.
