There is one worse. CAVOK when the aircraft you fly is in for its annual.

I believe that somewhere in Florida (Orlando?) was forecasting winds of VRB100G150KT during the recent hurricanes. That's what I call windshear!

I went to Kingston the other day, and took off from Manley Intl in a little C172, the plane was hovering in mid-air! Try it, you'll like it!
...........in Flight Sim 2004 (with real weather) of course. :ok:
