Oops, I said 25 south, I ment 25 north. It was flat as a cracker. I
didn't have the increase like you were saying ... I've felt smaller
up/down drafts going in and out of cumulous before, but this occurred
over a lenghty perdiod of time relatively, like 30 seconds or so. We
had had a strong head wind all the way down, but when we were doing 80
indicated, I now remember seeing 97 on the GPS. I was on the localizer
a few minutes later and so I didn't get a chance to see how strong the
tail wind was. After we landed, driving to the motel, we noticed the
smoke from a paper mill descending after it left the stack. I wondered
if that was somehow related ... descending air? Low pressure, hmm.
