Flying a small real airplane in high wind is just as much fun as flying a model. Shear and pockets make like driving on a potholed road at 100 mph. Everyone has limits or dont know what is going on.
Have landed a Piper Cherokee 140 into a strong or should I say, very strong head wind. As soon as we touched down the aircraft came to a stop, with NO application of the brakes. Shear and air pockets, can make real life flying very interesting. Especially if a lot of your flying is done around mountains and in valleys.
