Ya never seem to hear/see any Robbo's out in those winds, unless of course they where going southbound on a one way trip!:-)

'Nit' that's ugly them thar No's!

The conditions of the last few days was similar to those that brought the AC50 down Nth of ML a few years ago.

Slipping out of EN late one night Nthbound off rwy 35 with a G/S of around 70kts in the old Beech, ML Dep's took me west of my track after seeing I was gunna be a long term pest in the CTZ so as to allow departing A/C from ML to get away sometime before dawn!
As a PVT pilot the winds where always a headwind when you hired a plane, why is that?
