You can point a heli into wind most of the time at the critical phases of flight. With fixed wing its a luxury.
You can point a plane into wind most of the time too, as even cross winds all have a headwind component to them.
You want to know the realy luxury? Airports and airstrips. Fixed wing guys get to operate out of prepared and maintained sites all the time, with well documented approaches and all the rest. Even a dirty old gravel strip has a history and you know what to expect. That is a huge luxury.
We have to make it up as we go along, a sort of trial and error. Every helicopter pilot on this forum has landed, at least once, at a spot where no other aircraft has landed before or since.
The way I see it, fixed wing guys are Aviators and heli guys are Pilots. Interpret that however you like.
