RE: Nervous about the wind
Dennis:
I really don't think anyone would have been confused about the "Bill" to whom you referred. That comment was more poking fun than anything else.
So long as your landing speed is greater than the steady wind you should have no trouble at all flying in it. If the wind speed is greater than your landing speed you can still do it if the plane's maximum air speed is greater then the wind, but it can get dicey when you land going backwards.
