I love it. But actually it's you that are smarter than most. Wind is never stead, it always has gusts. And gust drive plane nuts. Lighter planes can rally get tossed around by them.
Next time someone tells you that airplanes don't know if there is wind tell them to take a ride along in a hurricane hunter. Or fly through a thunderstorm in a Cessna 182 instead of a Boeing 747.
