Exciting stuff ... by my reckoning, that pressure gradient would correspond to a geostrophic wind of around 80kts ... do you often fly in that ... ?
Sometimes its over 100 kts! We are limited to 60 kts on the ground tho'.

As for 'often'.....well we have no choice, the operation is 24/7

It IS fun tho'
