What we need are more big open grass field type airports, so you just land and take off straight into wind, just like Spitfires in WW 2. I landed at Sunderland many years ago ( before it was a car factory) in winds around 35 knots in my Jodel. Approaching the field they said to land straight into wind across the grass if I preferred. I did, and then waited for wing walkers to help me taxi in.
