Did your route involve a large Track change? Only yesterday I was enjoying a nice 115 Kt Tailwind, executed a 70 degree Track change (in one of those areas where there's some nasty stuff going on), and the wonderful Tailwind bacame almost all Crosswind. Relatively constant TAS and Wind, Large Track change dramatically affecting Wind Component and Ground Speed.

Just Wondering.......................
