Why don't you folks getting angry or continuing to mock others simply unsubscribe and do us all a favor, good lord! It's been said many times the issue is we track our planes' position from a static position, unlike a person IN a plane and in this instance, the wind from behind with a relatively quick change in direction from travelling into or perpendicular to it, will affect lift momentarily, how hard is this to understand really? Don't turn this into a full scale issue, I don't believe anyone is claiming a gentle turn inside a moving air mass affects lift...
