Don't think the wife would be too impressed with a top end gig! you never know I might have done it on the front wheel ha ha.
I can see why MS would say that about some instructors..because of the high number of close calls our flying was stopped at 5kts crosswind! It has become a problem that has turned around full circle. Without the skill, instructors can't pass that knowledge on to students. This was the real problem and the cause of a high number of close calls..so instead of teaching the instructors & students limitations were put in place..sigh.
I was lucky to find an old school instructor who took me out in all kinds of weather..even showing me what 18kts crosswinds are like for a wee 152(Didn't land just overshot the runway)..hence the practice of running a wheel down the runway to get that crosswind technique(10-15kts)
Can understand the attitude thing though..always the first quote often spoken after becoming an instructor "Time to get some hours"
