How about 28G56? That was reported at one nearby airport on October 30. Locally we only saw 22G33. You can’t even fly a cinder block kite when it’s that calm.

Yeah, we only get worried when it's full sheets of diamond plate flying around.

Which brings up the inevitable question about logging.

You fly an LSA (like mine) with a stall speed on the order of 35 knots. The wind is blowing 40. Tie a long rope between a solid object and the prop flange. Fly for an hour. Can I log that as PIC?

African, or European LSA?

Great time to fly south. You can get there real fast with very little fuel burn!

I remember as a student when wind over 5 knots bothered me.

Now I hardly notice any wind.
