Default RE: Flying in strong Winds

HI
Well it seems it is windier these days, so the old saying "If you don't fly in wind you won't fly much" applies.
When the wind is steady and down the runway you can get away with 20 to 25 depending on the plane and how familiar your are with it. This New Years Day we had 18 pilots fly in up to 20 MPH wind and no crashes.
