As SSD states you can usually 'feel' what’s going on at the back end with regards from which direction the airflow is the most dominant.

The point I hate is when your 'expediting' a backtrack in a hurry with a strong tailwind and you feel the elevator go light just as you need to think about chopping the throttle and hitting the brakes!!!
