As an ex Wellingtonian, now living in YSSY - today's weather here aint nowt but a gentle zephyr.
NZWN is a man's airport, with horrible, bollock shrinking cross winds, huge gusts, and big fat hills on either side.
Like landing on a freaking aircraft carrier in a gale on a bad day.
Many memories of looking out the rain spattered window of a 737, straight down the centreline as some guy in seat 0A was having the time of his life feeding in some insane crab angle.
Crosswind, schmosswind...
