The CFI was 35,000 hours but I find 25 knots very demanding and have 500 hours in 150s but even so rermind myself I'm still a relative novice and leave the heroics for more able pilots.
As I am sure you are aware, the max demonstrated x-wind is not an operating limitation, this point has been raised many times in the past. Having said that a 20K direct x-wind would be a demanding situation requiring precise technique and competancy for any pilot....
