So guys (
specifically the increase groundspeed - don't lose airspeed - when you turn downwind brigade). Tell me why you think you feel any turbulence in a gusty wind? If your little box of air keeps moving about then surely your aeroplane inside does???
Turning a slow Harrier, or helicopter downwind is still flying. The 'problem' is that they can both achieve high rates of turn and fly at a low IAS at the same time, so the problems of losing IAS when turning downwind are far more pronounced.
