221 knots gusting to 26 kts!

It makes for an unusual wind barb in Garmin Pilot. Probably see a corrected METAR soon.

Perfect for some cross wind practice. And slow flight.

Knowing BJC, I might have believed 221 knots at first glance.

Copied the Metar. Now you know it was true. You saw it on the Internet!

Is it legal to taxi if your airspeed exceeds Vne?

Just have to do it backward, at least as fast as 221-Vne.

Send it.

But last week we were seeing gusts in the 50s and 60s

Topped out at 75 knots up there a couple weeks ago. Hasn’t been quite that sporty since then, but every year there’s a day...
