LOL… So are my forward wings training wings as well, or are they something different since they are variable sweep and have a primary flight control surface? You cracked me up with the training wings comment! Chris ---

Someone ought to do something about that gigantic UFO sitting on the ground by the lake…It could eat 60,000 people on any given Sunday. ---

I think everyone who ever flew in to Meigs misses it. My first ever arrival into Meigs was across the lake at night, coming up from J60 just west of GIJ. We descended out of an overcast right at 2000’, and there was all of Chicago glowing between the lake and the layer. Absolutely stunning and an image I’ll never forget. ---

BTW, could somebody please turn off the perpetual crosswind machine at BKL?!? ---

> [@trafly](#): > > BTW, could somebody please turn off the perpetual crosswind machine at BKL?!? Heh heh, for some folks, that’s just a warm up. [flightaware.com/live/airport/KBKL/wx](http://flightaware.com/live/airport/KBKL/wx) It’s up there in my upper limits, but I’d be out doing some Xwind landings for practice. Allen ---

Landed at KBUF yesterday, on Rwy 23, with the winds 280 at 35 gust 54. Does that count as a warmup? ---

Waaay outside my limits LOL Obviously you know your stuff for you to be here posting about it!!! I would have loved to seen the wind correction on that on video! ---

> [@trafly](#): > > Landed at KBUF yesterday, on Rwy 23, with the winds 280 at 35 gust 54. Does that count as a warmup? A x-wind component of 27 knots… I’d be really warmed-up… like crash-n-burned-to-a-crisp warmed-up!
