And BTW, March 14 thru 16 I was making a flight from St Louis to
Kansas and then to Montana and back home. Had 60+ knot tailwinds
coming home across Iowa - thank you very much.


Yeah, those headwinds that followed that cold front were really
something. We stayed up at 8500 feet, to stay in smooth air, but the
trade-off was a SLOOOOW flight.

Luckily, my kids are now old enough (and experienced enough) to be
able to "hold it" for up to four hours, so we just flipped on the XM
radio, hit the autopilot, and enjoyed the flight!
