Default RE: Wind Log

I was flying a few weeks ago in 30 mph winds and wished I didn't. 5 of us went up. We had a 30 mph crosswind from N to S. We had to take off on the taxi way. Our planes were taking off approximately15 feet but once they got up they weren't going anywhere quick. When it was time to land we were doing Harrier Jet Landings. Landings were kind of cool but the rest of the flying was nerve racking. It is pretty nerve racking watching your plane take a fast dive when you use ailerons.
