Arkansas Wind

[Graueradler]

A picture of my sail boat this afternoon. Blown off the lift. Don't know what it took to do it but when I noticed it, I called ASOS and it was reporting 20 gusting 30

I made two of the worst landings I've made in a long, long time today. I was very happy with both of them. Landed on runway 36 at SLG and VBT. Winds were 270 @ 32 G 40. Wicked, wicked, wicked.

My hat is off to you!!

Hell, his hat's probably off too ... blowing down the runway ...

The cherokee 180 we fly only has a 12 kt demo xwind.
