Brett65:

Where are you flying in Oklahoma City?
It was always funny at the TORKS field when the wind was calm, seems like all of us had problems landing anywhere close to the runway without that headwind!

Trainers can be alot of fun in the wind. Watching guys basically landing with little to no ground speed is a woot.

If you are flying at the TORKS field, one word of advice is to watch the north end of the field (toward the lake, with all the tall trees). There can be some weird updrafts over those trees on windy days. Not bad if you stay sharp, but I have seen planes pull an unexpected roll due to the updrafts.
