I knew a guy that flew a 500 with a 70 tailwind, coming in a couple hours after the eye of a hurricane Andrew had passed riding the outer bands.

I shot an ILS for my instrument helicopter rating with a 35 knot crosswind in an R 22 instrument trainer. that was kind of fun. I think I had about a 45° crab. it was the only day available for my check ride, and the only ILS available to me, we made it work.

Child's play at alt. Nose bleeding is for those who entertain red snot. Winds aloft... flame out from 80k. Com with Norway. Thank you for the Vector Hector. No further issues to report at this time. U2 is just a Irish Coffee band....
