Wind skills are indeed a wisely attained skill, but last time I flew in the winds predicted for today, was not just me who succumbed to the accompanying turbulence created by the trees surrounding our strip and 2 out of 2 planes bit the dust. I havent seen postings of anybody else venturing to the field today to brave the elements and do not wish to walk planes in for destruction by myself. Not intended to sound agitated by your comments Rob, just voicing my feeling of insecurity in winds 20kph + at our field once described as a postage stamp and having the ability to fly at one of the most restrictive fields around in the best of conditions means you can fly anywhere in more adverse conditions.
