I was flying a tiny electric model one day in a light wind. I thought I was pretty cool slowing down until I could land vertically.

Pretty cool that is, until the wind abruptly stopped when I was 8 foot up. Can you say splat?

It's funny how your perspective changes with age. As a student, I was
exposed to extremely high winds with my instructor. (Peak gust: 62 knots!)
