Well said and spot on correct.

Just a quick BTDT.  Left the receiving hospital 120 miles from home and the winds were a bit strong at home, but not too bad.  By the time we got home, they were 40G65.  Straight down the pipe though, there is a reason they build runways the directions they do.

Landed safely and with no real issues, as the acft was parked into the wind.  While tying the blades down, the medic and I watched a C152 land into the wind.  He was fine until he tried to exit the runway.  As soon as he turned 90 degrees onto the taxiway the airplane tipped onto it's downwind wing!  The pilot shut the engine down and, as soon as tyhe wind calmed down enough, a few of us helped him get it upright and pushed into a hangar.

Such is life.......
