"after three go-a-rounds in a 43 gusting to 50 mph direct crosswind in my 182."

The amazing part is that you're proud enough of this stupidity to share it with us.I would think that the first go-around would've been enough of a wake up call,that trying to land in over 3x the max demonstrated xwind for your airplane is moronic.What'd you do for an encore,get liquored up and play with power tools?
