Flying for Fun.
There are two reasons why I fly in this weather. The first is to show my students (who are at a suitably advanced stage of their training) what it is like. The second is when I have particularly obstinate trial lessons who, when I explain that it's possible to fly but I recommend they wait for a day when it's less windy, decide to ignore my advice and go anyway
My guess that one of the reasons why you choose to fly in high winds is because you can fleece some poor bastard of his cash and you see yourself as ace of the base. Your second reason beggars belief. Are you saying that if a students insists on flying then you will go along with his wishes despite your misgivings about the weather? Are you in command of the aircraft or is the student? I can just see the legal eagles descending upon your estate if something deadly went wrong.
