Put down full flaps and see if you can come down straight down like a helicopter...

Now's the perfect chance to go out and fly backwards! Take out a C152 and put it in slow flight...lots of fun!

That's all the weather we had last week. Funny thing though, when it gets that windy we still usually fly. Windy days like that were "party days" back at school since nobody would fly, so we'd all go out and do something fun together. Now it's just a normal work day!

The winds really provide a unique challenge for all operations, even on the ground.
