What I have to be grateful for
"Mortimer Schnerd, RN" wrote Checking the winds aloft, I saw that my usual altitude still had winds from the same direction as yesterday, although lighter now (down to about 27 knots). BAH! But wait! The winds down low were in the opposite direction! I ended up with a 15 knot tailwind going home at 2500 feet. Damn, you MUST be living right. A tailwind both ways, less than 24 hours apart? Never!!! g -- Jim in NC

apart? Never!!! g Yet it seems to work the other way 'round with alarming regularity. We had a 55 (!) knot headwind on the way up to Montblack's in Minneapolis on Wednesday -- and a 15 knot headwind coming home today... :-( Luckily, it was fairly smooth at altitude both ways. (The ride was no fun at all down low on the way up, however...) -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
