Speaking of fly in a hurricane...

Last year's local airshow, the local club was supposed to fly at the beginning of the day. Wind was 22 to 27, gusts to 40 (KNOTS! By the airports anemometer) I still offered to fly the Tripe...[X(] (I had flown it in nearly the same wind conditions a week before...) The other club members decided there was too much wind and cancelled the club's flight demo.
