The 25kt max demo crosswind is also exceptional. On many days when it's 15-20kt across the runway, the place I am based at is quiet as a graveyard. The Cessnas and Pipers cannot fly. I have not yet (in 6.5 years) cancelled a flight due to excessive crosswind.
Rubbish, want to see my trophy from the Guernsey Air Rally for landing in a 38kt direct crosswind.

We all know that the it is down to pilot ability and currency. Any Cessna or Piper is just as capable of flying as the TB in those conditions.

We all know you think the TB is the best thing since sliced bread, but lets keep it in the bounds of reality.

I am still looking forward to your lecture on simple physics.
