Exactly. I was turning into and out of a 100kt+ jetstream and I didn't die.

Go figure.
I dont get that one, never seen a pelican do it so it cannot be safe....also turning in/out of a jetstream is not a steady state condition. Once in it it may be. For safety we always fly into a jetstream, it does slow you down a bit but at least you dont have to turn downwind.
And dont try this in a simulator, its not the same either. Real planes use airmolecules, FS uses electrons which can turn a lot easier and travel faster.
I'm gonna give u the benefit of the doubt and assume ur kidding? It's getting pretty hard to tell...........
Ok, I am kidding about the pelicans...
