Surprised nobody has mentioned Leeds, at least almost all the airports mentioned have runways in the general direction of the south westerly gales. Leeds has R/W 32/14, so it's absolutely dead across the runway, and there's the hills and dales just to add to the turbulence factor. The whole week has been crosswind gusting over 35kts, but we get used to that at Leeds, but yesterday was a belter, nothing moved till well after lunchtime. What a day for a colleague of mine to be doing his line check for his command upgrade!!!
