Flying in high winds is not at all uncommon in the Mid West and
particularly the Great Planes states. If you really want winds use
the airports just off the "Front Range". OTOH They consider less than
75 miles poor visibility while the Great Lakes states consider 1500
and three great VFR.

Any one remember how the story goes about the pilot from the Great
Lakes and the one from out West feeling their way around a hangar in
fog and 10 knot winds or something like that?

They both agreed that what they were feeling was an elephant, right?
