A few hours ago an Ethiopian Airlines flight landed in Hong Kong during the middle of a Super Typhoon. Does this qualify as a partial or full Lee Roy Jenkins?

That's pretty typical February weather at TEB when they're landing 01 and winds are 32025G35. Send it!
 
34031G42KT, FEW015 and -RA is nothing, that’s student solo weather.
If the gust spread on that was only 4kts I would fly a 172 in that. 35kts was my limit. If you wait for a calm wind day where I'm from, you won't fly very often.

A point I've always emphasized with students in light aircraft is don't ignore the weather after you land. Sure the crosswind component on approach might give you sweaty palms, but that isn't over when you clear the runway, as that crosswind component just turned 90 degrees and the ride isn't over.

Climb into. Dive away. Words to live by.

Only if they had chicken can they be considered a “full” Leroy Jenkins.
