I hadn't flown for over three weeks and was itching to go yesterday. Unfortunately, the windsock blew away last month so I didn't quite know how windy it was. By the time I got to 500 feet I realised it was really quite windy -- 35 knots according to the GPS, but straight down the runway. For the first time for a long while on final the wing dipped so much and the airspeed indicator fluctuated so much that I felt like I was falling. The thought passed stupidly through my mind, 'Is this what it feels like to spin in on final?' Thankfully, I can confirm that isn't what it feels like. It was quite disconcerting, but all was well in the end and it's a useful addition to the experience bank.
