I second this. If the wind is gusty, then when you're landing, your plane can drop out of the sky like a rock if the wind stops suddenly.

But... a good steady wind is great - especially with a light airplane. I've had two airplanes that were so light I could fly them backwards (relative to the ground) because the wind speed was above the flying speed of the aircraft. All planes care about is how much air is going over them - ground speed is irrelevent.

man... I really hate agreeing with CombatPigg.
